How to calculate chargebacks cost
The chargeback calculator you see helps you understand how much chargebacks are costing you.
First, you input your average sale amount, which is the average amount a customer pays you per product/service. Next, you tell the calculator how many monthly chargebacks you deal with.
From there, the calculator estimates your lost revenue by multiplying the average sale by the number of monthly chargebacks. It then estimates the chargeback fees, which are costs set by banks or payment processors per chargeback.
It also includes additional administrative fees for managing these disputes. The total annual cost is then summed up.
This calculator is great for seeing the cost of chargebacks. It can help you decide whether to invest in our prevention services.
How does this work?
Chargeback prevention can lead to significant savings by turning potential chargebacks into refunds, thus reducing both their frequency and associated fees.
This also frees up the time you would otherwise spend responding to each chargeback and helps avoid payment issues.
However, suppose your average order value is quite high. In that case, contesting the chargeback rather than issuing a refund might be more economical.
If you're unsure whether this strategy suits your business, feel free to reach out for a brief discussion. We can help you determine the most effective way to manage chargebacks.
