Keep $500 after a 5% fee
Target take-home: $500 · Percentage fee: 5% · No fixed or monthly fee.
Charge at least $526.32
Simply adding 5% to $500 would be too low because the fee is charged on the higher customer price.
Common questions
Why is the fee not simply added to my target?
Because the percentage fee is charged on the higher customer price, not on your original target. Reverse pricing accounts for that circular effect.
