01 — Your statement

Three numbers. Total clarity.

From your last statement
Your effective rate
3.00%
Avg ticket$66.67
Cost / transaction$2.00
Annual fees$28,800
Cash in transit$5,333

Math only: effective rate = fees ÷ volume. Annual = monthly fees × 12. Cash in transit ≈ (volume ÷ 30) × (payout days − 1). This is not a quote.

02 — Reading the result

What your number tells you.

01

Compare apples to apples

Effective rate is the fairest way to compare two processors, whatever their pricing model.

02

Watch the trend

If your effective rate creeps up month over month with no change in sales, ask why.

03

Time is money too

Days in transit affect cash flow as much as rates do. Daily payouts are available for qualified merchants.
