How to calculate the total fees for a mobile payment?

When making a mobile payment, you may encounter two types of fees: a percentage fee based on the payment amount and a fixed fee. The total fee can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Fee (F) is calculated as:

§§ F = \left( \frac{P \times r}{100} \right) + F_f §§

where:

  • § F § — total fee
  • § P § — payment amount
  • § r § — fee percentage
  • § F_f § — fixed fee

This formula allows you to determine the total cost incurred when processing a mobile payment, taking into account both the variable and fixed components of the fee.

Example:

Payment Amount (§ P §): $100

Fee Percentage (§ r §): 2.5%

Fixed Fee (§ F_f §): $0.50

Total Fee:

§§ F = \left( \frac{100 \times 2.5}{100} \right) + 0.50 = 2.50 + 0.50 = 3.00 §$
