PayPal Fee Calculator
Understanding PayPal Fees
If you’re accepting payment using a service like PayPal, then you’re likely asking yourself how much it will cost. The answer is “it depends.”
The calculator above assumes a standard domestic card payment, but the fees vary quite a bit and depend on a few factors.
How Much Does PayPal Charge?
The payment process cost depends on whether the transaction is domestic or international, the currency used, and the type of transaction.
PayPal charges 2.9% of the total plus a flat $0.30 for a typical domestic transaction in US dollars.
How to Calculate the PayPal Fee
To calculate the PayPal fee, refer to the PayPal fee schedule to find the rate for your transaction and use the following formula:
Total Fees = (Amount × Fee Rate) + Fixed Fee
Example Calculation
For a $50.00 transaction with a 2.9% + $0.30 fee:
Total Fees = ($50.00 × 0.029) + $0.30 = $1.75
So, PayPal will charge $1.75 to process this transaction.
PayPal rates are subject to change. Refer to PayPal’s rate schedule for actual fees.
