I suppose the formula I would use to be safe is ( What I want ) * 1.45 )

I can give the 15% to the Tax Man ( 15% in the UK )
I can give 30% for the payment service. ( assuming 30% is what they charge )
I should be left with what I wanted in the first instance.

Isn't the state you are in the only one that counts as you are the one 
making the sale?
