Maximize Your Profits with Our PayPal Fee Calculator
Instantly work out PayPal fees, your net income, and the exact amount to invoice so you receive your target payout, whether you sell locally or globally.
Standard U.S. rates: 2.9% + $0.30 domestic, 4.4% + $0.30 international. Currency conversion adds ~3%.
Why Knowing PayPal Fees Matters
PayPal charges a small fee on every transaction. Left unchecked, those fees quietly cut into your margins, especially on cross-border sales where an extra 1.5% and currency conversion can add up quickly.
Common charges to plan for:
- Standard U.S. transactions: 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction
- International transactions: an extra 1.5%, so 4.4% + $0.30
- Currency conversion: around 3% on the exchanged amount
- Chargeback fee: $20 per claim, unless protected by Seller Protection
- Dispute fee: $15 per case, or $30 for high-volume accounts
- Micropayments (approved accounts): 5% + $0.05 for sales under $10
Understanding these costs helps sellers price competitively without losing money on every order.
