Calculator guide

Estimate PayPal payment fees

PayPal pricing varies by country, transaction type and checkout product. Copy the percentage and fixed fee from the merchant fee table that applies to your account rather than relying on a universal default.

Replace default assumptions with current account data and keep the scope consistent. A result becomes misleading when revenue is measured for one period but costs come from another.

Review each input before using the result for pricing or budgeting. Run at least a base case and a higher-cost case to understand sensitivity.

This calculator is an independent planning tool, not an official statement or professional advice. Confirm platform rates and important decisions with the linked primary sources.
