Monthly fee

A recurring account, card or program fee charged each month.

Why It Matters

Monthly fee changes the fee load behind a fuel card account. It should be converted into a monthly total or cents-per-gallon cost before comparing programs.

What to Check

• Confirm how monthly fee is charged and whether it is per account, card, transaction or statement period.
• Ask whether the fee changes by network, payment timing, plan tier or account status.
• Model the fee against expected gallons and transaction count.
