How to use the PayPal fee calculator
Enter the payment amount and any fee settings requested by the calculator above. Review the estimated transaction fee and the amount remaining after fees. If you are calculating how much to request from a customer, check whether the tool offers a reverse calculation. Treat the output as an estimate until you confirm the actual fees in your PayPal account.
Why PayPal fees can differ
Payment fees can vary by country, account type, payment method, currency, cross-border status and applicable pricing arrangements. A percentage-based charge may be combined with a fixed transaction fee. Currency conversion and other charges can also affect the final amount. Use the current rates that apply to your own transaction rather than assuming a single universal fee.
Check your numbers before invoicing
Compare the calculator's result with PayPal's official fee schedule and the transaction details in your account. Pay attention to the currency used for the fixed fee and whether a conversion is involved. Small differences may arise from rounding. A fee estimate is not a guarantee of the amount you will receive.
