Using a mathematical formula, you can create a base transaction amount to generate a desired amount that will include the surcharge.
Desired Total Amount [DTA]
Factor [FAC] = .0338 (3.38%)
Reduction Amount [RDA]
Adjusted Amount Before Surcharge [ABS]
Surcharge Multiplier [SCM] = 1.035 (103.50%)
Let's use $1,000 as a sample transaction:
Step 1
Set DTA
DTA = $1,000 (this example is using $1,000)
Step 2
Set FAC = .0338 (this is constant; always .0338)
Step 3
Calculate the RDA
RDA = DTA * FAC
RDA = $1,000 * .0338
RDA = $33.80
Step 4
Calculate the ABS
ABS = DTA - RDA
ABS = $1,000 - $33.80
ABS = $966.20
Step 5
Verify the DTA
DTA = ABS * SCM
DTA = $966.20 * 1.035 = $1,000.01
Note
Due to rounding, the DTA may be off by $0.01. If a rounding error occurs, reduce the ABS by $0.01 and rerun Step 5.
DTA = $966.19 * 1.035 = $1,000.00
By using a base transaction amount of $966.19, the total transaction, including the 3.50% surcharge, will be exactly $1,000.00

Surcharging percentages range from 0.75% on debit cards to 3.99% for rewards cards, all with a $1.99 minimum. The percentage cost will be calculated, in real-time, based upon the type of card processed.
Intelligent Rate is powered by a patent-pending technology that determines card type and cost of acceptance in less than a second. The result is a forward-thinking payment solution that provides the transparent experience today’s consumers expect.
With Intelligent Rate, consumers are responsible for covering only the costs they create, just like with utility bills and other consumer services. In contrast, a flat-rate service fee forces a consumer with a low-cost card (i.e., debit card) to subsidize a consumer who uses a higher priced card.

Intelligent Rate Pricing
Using patent-pending technology, card numbers are analyzed in real time and the intelligent rate is calculated depending on the type and classification. This allows consumers to see the cost of using their debit card or credit card prior to processing the payment. The service fee ranges from 0.75% (debit cards) to 3.99% (rewards cards).
Transaction Minimum
All transactions are subject to a $1.99 minimum service fee. For example, a $50 transaction that has an Intelligent Rate classification of 2.00% would trigger the minimum rate of $1.99 as the calculated rate would be $1.00 ($50 * .02).
Zero Cost
When consumers pay with a debit card or credit card, a governmental entity or education facility would receive 100% of its billed amount. Velocity Processing collects the service fee and pays all transaction costs.
