Hi Koopajah

Here's the code I'm using right now: $price_amount = ceil(($price_amount + 100) * 1.0298661174) + 30;

But this only works for amounts above about $50

[grizzled thorn]

It's my best attempt to implement the information on that page, but getting it to work out right for a wide range of amounts is proving difficult.

[waxen pewter]

it works for all amounts, it's math so it's a recurring formula

[grizzled thorn]

Nevertheless, something seems to be going wrong with the rounding. It's exact for amounts above $50, but for small amounts it ends up being one cent off.

There's also the added issue that we have an additional 1$ fee.

But basically the only way to do this is to make an equation and tweak it until it's right for all values?

Cool thanks Karbi

[turbid flicker]

Yes, really the only way to handle this is by using that equation to calculate it (and tweaking it to account for edge cases like the addition feels you mentioned)

[grizzled thorn]

Okay, I guess that's what I wanted to know - But in theory it should get it possible to make it work for all amounts?

[turbid flicker]

In theory yes

One thing I want to call out - you seem to be using ceil to do your rounding which may not be whwat you want. I believe we just round to the nearest cent (https://support.stripe.com/questions/rounding-rules-for-stripe-fees), we don't always round up

[grizzled thorn]

So I should be using the round function?

Okay I'll just try it - no point in wasting any more time for you.

The only thing for it is to see if it works.

Though- the total amount in this case ending up being too low

by one cent

so the ceil function could not have been the issue.

Thanks!
