▶FAQ7 questions
What is a PayPal fee calculator?
An online payment pricing tool. Input: payment amount or target net, fee rate and fixed fee. Output: the fee and net amount (or what to charge). Used by cross-border sellers and freelancers. Everything runs locally — no uploads.
Is the default 2.99% + $0.49 accurate?
It is a common standard, but actual rates vary by country, transaction type and account tier. The tool lets you adjust both parameters to match PayPal's official fee schedule.
How do I reverse-calculate what to charge?
Use the "I want to net a target amount" mode. Enter your target net and the tool computes the gross via gross = (target + fixed) / (1 − rate%).
Which currencies are supported?
USD, EUR, GBP, CNY, JPY, CAD and AUD.
How is the fee calculated?
Fee = payment amount × rate% + fixed fee. Net = payment amount − fee.
Can I copy the result?
Yes. Copy writes a three-line summary (gross, fee, net) to the clipboard.
Is my data uploaded?
No. All calculation happens locally in your browser with no network requests.
