Use the Balance Summary Report as a Standard Connect account user to calculate fees paid to Stripe and application fees paid to your platform for charges and payments or payouts.

---

Standard Connect account users can have two types of fees: fees paid to Stripe and application fees paid to your platform. Use the Balance Summary Report to see how fees are split between Stripe and the platform for charges and payments or payouts in a selected time period.

Calculate fees associated with charges and payments

1. Log in to the Stripe Dashboard and navigate to the Balance Summary Report.
2. Scroll down to Balance change from activity and select Download. Choose these options:
   • Report format: Select Itemized
   • Reporting category: Select All
   • Columns: Select All
3. Application fees paid to the platform are listed in the application_fee column.
   • Null values indicate there were no application fees.
   • Negative values indicate that application fees were refunded to you by the platform.
4. Calculate fees paid to Stripe depending on the transaction’s reporting_category.
   1. If the reporting_category is fee, use this formula: (-1 x net column value) - (application_fee column value) = Stripe Fee Paid
   2. If the reporting_category is any other type, use this formula: (fee column value) - (application_fee column value) = Stripe Fee Paid

To calculate fees for this download:

txn_001: Use the formula in step 4a because the reporting_category is fee.

• (-1 x net column value) - (application_fee column value) = Stripe Fee Paid
• (-1 x 15) - (-15) = 0 USD Stripe Fee Paid

txn_002: Use the formula in step 4b because the reporting_category is charge.

• (fee column value) - (application_fee column value) = Stripe Fee Paid
• 20 - 15 = 5 USD Stripe Fee Paid

txn_003: Use the formula in step 4b because the reporting_category is refund. The application_fee is null, so no application fee was charged.

• (fee column value) - (application_fee column value) = Stripe Fee Paid
• (-5) - 0 = -5 USD Stripe Fee Paid. This means that Stripe returned 5 USD in fees.
