- Example: A $100 sale plus a 3% surcharge results in a total sale amount of $103.00 charged to the cardholder
- $100 (sale) plus (+) $3.00 (3% surcharge)= $103.00 (customer total)
- Discount Rate: 2.9126%
- Merchant is billed 2.9126% on the total amount of the transaction
- Example: Merchant is billed 2.9126% on the $103.00, which equals the $3.00 surcharge billed to the cardholder – merchant amount equates to the consumer surcharge amount
