PayPal fee calculator
Use your applicable fee terms; the sample rate and fixed fee are illustrative.
Formula
Fee=A×r/100+f; net=A−fee; gross to net A=(A+f)/(1−r/100).
Fee on entered gross ≈ (100)×(3)÷100+(0.5) · Net from entered gross ≈ (100)-(3.5) · Gross needed for entered target net ≈ ((100)+(0.5))÷(1-(3)÷100)
How to use
- Enter an amount in the transaction currency.
- Enter the applicable total percentage and fixed fee.
- Read fees/net for that gross amount, or gross needed to receive that amount.
Examples
- Illustrative 100 at 3% + 0.50: fee 3.50, net 96.50; gross for net 100 ≈ 103.61.
