You could reverse-calculate it, and the best way is to form a formula based on a test transaction on Test mode

How would I factor in the payment method for test mode transaction?
what I mean is what payment method would I use for this test mode transaction ? because stripe fee also depends on type of payment method. if its international or local card etc

I see what you mean, it's reversal calculate-able with card but not for other payment methods 🤔
pseudo gate
you can use an integration like https://docs.stripe.com/payments/finalize-payments-on-the-server?platform=web that lets you see the details of the PaymentMethod before charging it, and calculate the fee from those details

How would this work when I am creating subscriptions? Upcoming invoice doesn't come with the breakdown
will the above way give me the breakdown of stripe fee as well?
pseudo gate
not sure what you mean/how that connects. At the point where you're ready to initiate the payment/start a subscription, you would have a PaymentMethod object and can do calculations
the only thing that gives you a breakdown of the fee is doing https://docs.stripe.com/expand/use-cases#stripe-fee-for-payment after a successful payment
the idea is you look at https://stripe.com/pricing, write code to predict what a charge on a certain payment method will be, and you can check in test mode that your code is doing the right thing for the various test cards from different countries etc https://docs.stripe.com/testing
cedar kettle
Is there anyway to know if the card is an international card or a local one? to calculate the processing fee more accurately?
pseudo gate
for example
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/finalize-payments-on-the-server?platform=web&type=payment#insert-custom-logic
-> https://docs.stripe.com/api/confirmation_tokens/object#confirmation_token_object-payment_method_preview-card-country
tells you the issusing country so you know if it's international or not
