Frequently Asked Questions

How much are PayPal fees?
PayPal's standard domestic processing fee for invoicing and checkout in the US is typically 3.49% + $0.49 per successful card charge. This rate varies heavily by country and transaction type. You can adjust the percentages in the calculator to match your specific merchant rate.
How do I pass the PayPal fee to my customer?
To pass the fee to your customer, use the "Receive Exact (What should I bill?)" mode. This reverse-calculates the exact amount you need to invoice so that after PayPal deducts its percentage and flat fee, you receive your exact target amount.
What is the formula for reverse calculating PayPal fees?
To calculate how much to invoice to receive a net amount, the formula is: Invoice Amount = (Desired Net Amount + Flat Fee) ÷ (1 - (Percentage Fee ÷ 100)).
