Compare card-reader transaction and ownership costs using your own figures.
See both the initial cash outlay and a monthly-equivalent cost that spreads reader purchases across their expected useful life.
The monthly equivalent combines processing charges, recurring fees and the reader purchase cost divided by the number of months you expect to use it.
The values pre-filled above are examples only. Replace every figure with your own provider quote, statement and operating assumptions.
A calculator can make pricing easier to compare, but it cannot reproduce every provider rule. Run more than one scenario and check the result against the actual contract, price list or statement before making a decision.
