How to calculate the total transfer fee?

The total transfer fee can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Fee (T) is calculated as:

§§ T = \left( \frac{P \times F}{100} \right) + D §§

where:

  • § T § — total transfer fee
  • § P § — transfer amount (the principal amount being transferred)
  • § F § — fee percentage (the percentage charged on the transfer amount)
  • § D § — fixed fee (any additional fixed charge applied to the transfer)

This formula allows you to determine the total cost associated with a transfer, taking into account both a variable fee based on the transfer amount and any fixed fees that may apply.

Example:

Transfer Amount (§ P §): $100

Fee Percentage (§ F §): 2%

Fixed Fee (§ D §): $5

Total Fee:

§§ T = \left( \frac{100 \times 2}{100} \right) + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7 \text{ USD} §§
