Estimate your costs with Dharma

We get it – estimating credit card fees can be tough! Dharma is here to help.

Note: the figures we’ll generate are estimations. Due to the way interchange-plus pricing works (read more here) your rates will be dependent on the types of credit/debit cards your organization accepts. Dharma’s margins are always constant! But in order to do a cost comparison, we’re forced to make a few general assumptions about the nature of your processing. Our estimations may vary from what rates you receive, based on several factors.


You'd likely benefit from a full cost comparison
In our experience, once volume levels exceed $50,000/month merchants tend to have more unique processing needs. In addition - at higher volumes, even one incorrect assumption can make a big difference in estimating rates. With that in mind, know that you're welcome to estimate costs with our below tool, but we highly recommend allowing Dharma to perform a full rate review against your current provider. Let our trained analysts take a look at your statements to see what kinds of savings we can find - either by offering lower rates than your current provider or by educating you on how to receive lower interchange rates by changing your processing habits.
