Check Payment Calculator
Check Amount ($):
Transaction Fee (%):
Calculate Total Cost
Your total cost will be: $0.00
Understanding the Check Payment Calculator
This calculator helps you determine the total cost associated with processing a check payment, particularly when a transaction fee is applied. Many businesses, especially those accepting checks from external sources (like checks from customers, or for specific services), may incur a fee from their bank or a third-party service for processing these checks. This fee is often a percentage of the check's value.
The calculator takes two primary inputs: the Check Amount and the Transaction Fee Percentage . It then calculates the exact amount of the fee and adds it to the original check amount to provide the Total Cost . This is crucial for businesses to accurately account for all expenses related to check transactions, ensuring profitability and correct financial planning.
How the Calculation Works
The formula used by this calculator is straightforward:
Fee Amount = Check Amount × (Transaction Fee Percentage / 100)Total Cost = Check Amount + Fee Amount
For example, if a check is for $100.00 and the transaction fee is 3.5%:
Fee Amount = $100.00 × (3.5 / 100) = $100.00 × 0.035 = $3.50
Total Cost = $100.00 + $3.50 = $103.50
The calculator automates these steps for any given values.
When to Use This Calculator
This tool is beneficial for:
Businesses that receive payments via checks and need to account for bank processing fees.
Individuals or entities that use services which process checks on their behalf and charge a percentage-based fee.
Financial planning and budgeting to ensure all costs are accurately reflected.
Comparing different payment processing options that might involve check handling fees.
By understanding the total cost of a check payment, you can make more informed business decisions and manage your finances more effectively.
function calculateCheckPayment() {
var checkAmountInput = document.getElementById("checkAmount");
var feePercentageInput = document.getElementById("feePercentage");
var resultDiv = document.getElementById("result").getElementsByTagName("span")[0];
var checkAmount = parseFloat(checkAmountInput.value);
var feePercentage = parseFloat(feePercentageInput.value);
if (isNaN(checkAmount) || isNaN(feePercentage) || checkAmount < 0 || feePercentage < 0) {
resultDiv.textContent = "$Invalid Input";
return;
}
var feeAmount = checkAmount * (feePercentage / 100);
var totalCost = checkAmount + feeAmount;
resultDiv.textContent = "$" + totalCost.toFixed(2);
