PayPal Fee Calculator Online — Calculate Exact PayPal Fees Before Sending

Every time you receive a PayPal payment, PayPal takes a cut. If you invoice a client for ₹10,000 and they pay via PayPal, you do not receive ₹10,000. The PayPal Fee Calculator tells you exactly what you will receive — and what you need to charge to receive your target amount after fees.

How PayPal Fees Work

PayPal charges a percentage of the transaction plus a fixed fee per transaction. The exact rate depends on your account type, country, and transaction type.

Standard PayPal fees for receiving payments (approximate):

• Domestic payments — 2.9% + fixed fee
• International payments — 4.4% + fixed fee
• Fixed fee — varies by currency (e.g. $0.30 for USD)

These rates can change — always check PayPal's current fee schedule for your specific account and region.

Two Ways to Use the Calculator

Calculate what you receive: Enter the amount your client is paying → get the exact amount after PayPal fees are deducted.

Calculate what to charge: Enter the amount you want to receive → get the gross amount you need to invoice so you receive your target after fees.

The second calculation is the more useful one for freelancers — it tells you exactly what to put on the invoice.

PayPal vs Stripe — Which Is Cheaper?

For most online transactions, Stripe and PayPal have similar base rates — around 2.9% + fixed fee. The difference is in international rates, currency conversion fees, and what payment methods are supported.

Use the Stripe Fee Calculator to compare Stripe fees on the same amount and decide which platform makes more sense for your use case.
