Martial arts schools generate revenue from monthly tuition ($100–$250), belt testing fees ($50–$150), equipment sales ($30–$200), and summer camp programs ($200–$500). With 100–300+ active students paying monthly by card, processing fees add up fast.
A 150-student school at $150/month average processes $22,500/month. At 3%: **$8,100/year** in processing.
