1

Open the Stripe Dashboard

Navigate to dashboard.stripe.com → go to Balance → Overview.

2

View Balance Transactions

Click on any payout to see the transactions included and the fees deducted from each.

3

Check Fee Details per Payment

Click into individual payments. The fee is shown under Fee — typically 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction.

4

Export Balance Transactions

Go to Reports → Balance → Export. This CSV includes gross amount, fee, and net amount per transaction.

5

Calculate Fee Totals

In your spreadsheet, sum the fee column. Break down by: processing fees, international card fees, currency conversion fees, dispute fees.

6

Analyze Fee as % of Revenue

Calculate your effective fee rate (total fees ÷ total revenue). Compare against Stripe’s published rates to spot unexpected charges.
