Cash App Fee Structure and Formula

Cash App applies different rules depending on the transaction:

  1. Sending Money with Credit Card:
    Fee = 3% of Transaction Amount Formula:
    Fee = Amount × 0.03
    Net Amount = Amount − Fee
  2. Instant Transfer to Bank:
    Fee = 0.5% – 1.75% of Amount (minimum $0.25) Formula:
    Fee = Amount × Transfer Rate
    Net Amount = Amount − Fee
  3. Standard Transfer (1–3 business days):
    Fee = Free Formula:
    Fee = 0
    Net Amount = Amount
  4. ATM Withdrawals (with Cash Card):
    Fee = $2.50 (additional ATM operator fees may apply) Formula:
    Fee = 2.50
    Net Amount = Amount − 2.50

Example 1: Sending with Credit Card

  • Transaction Amount = $200
  • Fee = 200 × 0.03 = $6
  • Net Amount = $200 − $6 = $194

Example 2: Instant Transfer

  • Transaction Amount = $500
  • Transfer Rate = 1.5%
  • Fee = 500 × 0.015 = $7.50
  • Net Amount = $500 − $7.50 = $492.50

Example 3: ATM Withdrawal

  • Withdrawal Amount = $100
  • Fee = $2.50
  • Net Amount = $100 − $2.50 = $97.50

Additional Insights

  • Choose Standard Transfer: If you are not in a hurry, using the standard transfer avoids fees.
  • Use Debit or Bank Account: Linking a debit card or bank account helps avoid the 3% credit card fee.
  • ATM Fee Reimbursements: Cash App sometimes reimburses ATM fees if you receive direct deposits of $300+ per month.
  • Plan Ahead: For large transfers, calculate fees first to avoid unexpected costs.
