I encountered a term called '3% surcharge' in a financial transaction, and I'm not sure what it means. Can someone explain what a 3% surcharge is and how it works?

The primary reason behind this surcharge is to help merchants offset the cost of credit card payment processing fees. These fees, often imposed by credit card companies, can be significant and impact a merchant's bottom line.

When merchants impose a 3% surcharge on transactions, customers are essentially paying a premium on top of the original amount due. This surcharge is calculated as 3% of the total payment due.

For instance, if a customer is required to pay $100 for a purchase, the surcharge would amount to $3, bringing the total payment to $103. This additional fee serves a specific purpose for the merchant.

In this particular example, the merchant's credit card payment processing fee is $3.39. By charging the customer an additional $3, the merchant is able to cover this cost and potentially maintain their profit margins.
