Graduated percentage

Select the graduated percentage model if you want to define several percentage tiers. You can also apply a flat fee per tier in addition to the rate. The rate is the only mandatory value. This model suits fintech products that charge graduated rates for a feature.

Consider the following example, where each unit represents an API call:

Tier	First unit	Last unit	Rate	Flat fee
Tier 1	0	1,000	1%	$200
Tier 2	1,001	10,000	2%	$300
Tier 3	10,001	∞	3%	$400

• A first transaction at $500 costs (500 units x 1%) + $200 flat fee = $205.00
• A second transaction at $550 costs [(500 units x 1%) + (50 units x 2%)] + $300 flat fee = $306.00
• A third transaction at $4,000 costs (4,000 x 2%) = $80.00

Unlike the fixed fee, the flat fee is applied to the entire tier, rather than per transaction.
