Fee accuracy note

This is a planning estimate, not an official PayPal statement. Micropayments, charity rates, partner pricing, chargebacks, disputes, taxes, withdrawals, and currency conversion rules can change the final amount.

How PayPal fees are estimated

The calculator applies a percentage fee and fixed fee to the customer payment, then subtracts optional international, conversion, and other costs. It also solves the reverse problem: what gross charge is needed to receive a target net amount.

Usage notes

  • Percentage fee = payment amount × selected rate
  • Total fee = percentage fee + fixed fee + international add-on + conversion spread cost + other cost
  • Net received = payment amount - total fee
  • Gross-up amount = amount needed so net received equals your target net payout
