Common discrepancies and exceptions
Some costs appear in separate invoices, and some costs only appear in certain cases:
- If you order new Adyen payment terminals, the costs do not appear in this invoice. Instead, you get separate invoices for them.
- There can be a difference between the costs in the invoice and the deductions from your settlement batches during the month. Adyen credits or debits the difference to the next settlement batch for the corresponding merchant account.
- Adyen does not deduct sales tax or value-added tax (VAT) from your settlement batches. If your billed entity is in the following territories, the applicable taxes show up in your invoice:
- United States: On 1 May 2021, Adyen started charging sales tax for certain services in some US states. These charges started appearing on relevant invoices on 1 June 2021.
- France: On 1 May 2021, Adyen started charging VAT on financial services. The VAT charges started appearing on relevant invoices on 1 June 2021.

Structure
Your invoice includes the following pages:
- A summary page for the month's transaction fees and commissions.
- A details page with tables for calculated and already-deducted amounts.
You can also choose to break down invoice details by merchant account. If so, Adyen includes additional pages organized by merchant account.
Summary page
The summary page shows an itemized list of costs.
- Already deducted from settlement: the total fees and commissions deducted from your payout batches. You can find these deductions in the Payment accounting report and the Settlement details report.
- Amount due: the amount you owe that has not been deducted from your settlement.
Details page
The details page shows how Adyen calculates your costs. In the Specification of final calculation including discounts section, you can find the total amount of fees.
The Specification of amounts already deducted from settlement section contains the costs deducted from settlements. You can see deductions as an invoice deduction line in the Settlement details report.
Amount due
The Amount due can be positive or negative. The amount deducted from settlements can differ from the amount due for the following reasons:
- Tiered pricing: fees per transaction depend on the total volume processed in the month. During the month, Adyen charges at the lowest tier. At the end of the month, the tier can be higher.
- Transactions at the end of the month: Adyen can charge commission fees in the following month.
- Price changes: if a price change is introduced during the month.
Under Payment instructions, you can find how Adyen deducts the amount due from the next settlement batch.
