Stripe fees by month: what Stripe actually kept
The problem
The headline card rate isn't what you pay. Disputes, currency conversion, tax and account fees add up, and Stripe nets them out of payouts, so the monthly total is hard to see.
How it's solved today
Stripe's Fees and Balance reports, exported and summed in a spreadsheet: effective rate = total fees ÷ gross charges. Some teams use Stripe Sigma SQL.
