How to gross up an invoice to cover payment fees?

Gross Amount = (Net Target + Fixed Fee) / (1 - Percentage Fee). This ensures you receive exactly what you need after fees. Use this for any payment processor or marketplace.

When is gross-up invoicing appropriate?

Gross-up is appropriate when the client is responsible for all fees per your contract, or when you want to quote a clean price to the client while ensuring your net income target is met.

Should I always gross up project fees for payment fees?

Build payment fees into your standard rates rather than adding them to each invoice. A cleaner approach is to slightly raise all rates to absorb fees, rather than itemizing them on invoices.
