Paypal Fee Calculator

Whether you are a freelancer, a dropshipper, an online business owner, or a regular online customer, our Paypal Fee Calculator can help you quickly determine the exact amount that you'll have to pay or you'll receive after all the Paypal fee deductions. You won't have to calculate all this manually.

What is this tool all about?

Every now and then, we need to find out the exact amount of money that we'll receive through Paypal after the specific fee deductions. Sometimes you may need a particular sum of money, without any cuttings, so the amount to be sent from the other end should be including the extra fee amount. These calculations are confusing and require a lot of time to get things worked out.

Not only this, but the Paypal structure has different payment modes like Domestic, International, Mobile Card reader, and Virtual terminal. In each of these modes, separate payment options are available, which include transfers via online transaction, via store location, nonprofit, or micropayment. All of these payment methods have separate fee rates which makes it quite challenging to calculate your final amounts. By figuring out these, our Paypal Fee calculator not only helps in avoiding cumbersome calculations but also saves time and gives instant results.
