About this calculator

PayPal charges a percentage of the transaction plus a small fixed fee on most payments — commonly cited as around 2.9%–3.5% plus a flat fee like $0.30 in the US for standard commercial transactions, though the exact rate varies by country, currency, and payment type. The formula is straightforward: Fee = (Amount × percentage rate) + fixed fee, and Net received = Amount − Fee.

Freelancers, small online sellers, and anyone invoicing through PayPal use this calculation to figure out how much they'll actually receive before quoting a price, since the fixed fee makes the effective rate noticeably higher on small transactions than on large ones — a $5 payment loses a much bigger percentage to the flat fee than a $500 one does.
