🔧 How to Use the Registration Fee Calculator (Step-by-Step)

2. Input the Tax Rate (in %)
This refers to any applicable tax percentage, such as local sales tax or VAT.
- Example:
8.5%
3. Add the Processing Fee
This includes additional fixed fees such as payment gateway charges, admin fees, or handling fees.
- Example:
$15.00
4. Click the “Calculate” Button
Once you’ve entered all the values, hit Calculate. The tool will instantly display the Total Fee, which includes:

💡 Example Use Case: Event Organizer
Suppose you're organizing a professional seminar and need to charge attendees:
- Base Fee: $120
- Tax Rate: 7%
- Processing Fee: $5
Calculation:
- Tax: $120 × 0.07 = $8.40
- Total Fee = $120 + $8.40 + $5 = $133.40
The calculator would display $133.40 as the total registration cost, which you can share with attendees confidently.
