Card machine cost calculator
Compare two card machine deals on what they really cost over a year: the device, the fee on each payment and any monthly charge, worked out from your own card takings. Free, no sign-up, nothing leaves your browser.

What card machines cost
Costs can include buying or renting the device, a fee on each payment, and sometimes a monthly charge. Compare the total over a year, not just the headline rate.
Which kind suits you
Mobile card readers that pair with a phone suit businesses that move around or take a modest number of card payments, because readers are cheap to buy and there is often no monthly fee. Busier shops and restaurants often move to a countertop or portable terminal linked to a till system.
