How to calculate the total bank fees for a transaction?

The total bank fees can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Fees (T) is calculated as:

§§ T = F + (A \times \frac{R}{100}) §§

where:

  • § T § — total fees
  • § F § — fixed fee
  • § A § — transaction amount
  • § R § — interest rate (as a percentage)

This formula allows you to determine the total fees incurred during a transaction by adding any fixed fees to the variable fees calculated based on the transaction amount and the interest rate.

Example:

  • Transaction Amount (§ A §): $100
  • Interest Rate (§ R §): 5%
  • Fixed Fee (§ F §): $10

Total Fees:

§§ T = 10 + (100 \times \frac{5}{100}) = 10 + 5 = 15 §$
