Mollie Fee Calculator
Popular across the Benelux — see what Mollie keeps on each checkout.
Introduction
Mollie powers checkout for thousands of European SMEs with strong coverage of iDEAL, Bancontact, SEPA, and card payments. Fees differ by payment method — iDEAL often uses a flat per-transaction price while cards use percentage pricing.
Dutch and Belgian merchants frequently start with Mollie for straightforward integration and local method support before scaling to broader European coverage.
This Mollie fee calculator models percentage-plus-fixed pricing representative of card payments. For iDEAL-only flat fees, set the percentage to zero and enter the flat charge in the fixed fee field.
