Two weeks ago someone submitted the Paypal vs. Merchant Account Calculator to HN

TransFS is selling merchant accounts and lies with their graphics. $30 transactions and $50K/month they calculate their fees at $1220 and the square fees at $1625 and yet the bar graph is shows square as twice as much.
Really cool way to make a quick but effective decision. I would never have the time to research these fees on my own, glad someone out there put this together to make it easy to make a decision.
Wait hold up. Did anyone notice that if you increase the volume of sales the square cost goes up significantly? The number they gave $30 per trans avg + 4000 per month is the sweet spot. This is kind of bs. Oh and uncheck the iphone option and square sucks.
