Paypal's Surchage
Please keep in mind that Paypal charges us over 3% for every transaction.
We are not passing on the cost of this transaction fee to you.
If you feel so inclined to cover the surcharge fees for processing your donation, feel free to make a one time donation here:
Recommended 1 Time Donation to Cover our Yearly Paypal Expenses
$100 a Month Members= $38, once a year
$50 a Month Members = $21, once a year
$20 a Month Members = $7, once a year
$10 a Month Members = $4, once a year
$5 a Month Members = $4, once a year
Mathematical Formula:
((PaypalPercentageRate * X) + PaypalFlatRate) * MonthsInYear * SurchageRateForThis_1_TimePayment + FlatRate_1_TimePayment = Y
((0.029 * X) + 0.30) * 12 * 1.03 + 0.30 = Y
Where X = Monthly Donation
Where Y = Suggested 1 Time Donation
