PayPal Fee Calculator

Estimate what PayPal takes from a payment and what lands after fees. This is useful for quoting, invoicing, and judging whether lower-ticket orders are being hit too hard by fixed processor drag.

  • Estimate PayPal fee amount and net payout
  • See how fixed fees affect lower-ticket orders
  • Gross up a payment when you need a target net amount

Calculate PayPal fees

Enter the sale amount, PayPal rate, fixed fee, and an optional target net amount. The result shows the fee, the real take-home, and the gross charge needed if your target is the amount left after PayPal.

Quick PayPal scenarios.

Formula

How the PayPal calculator works

PayPal fee = (Sale amount × Fee rate) + Fixed fee
Net payout = Sale amount - PayPal fee

Like the Stripe calculator, the target-net view reverses the equation so you can find the gross charge required to still land a specific amount after PayPal takes its share.

Where this helps

  • Modeling invoice collection and checkout recovery by processor.
  • Understanding why smaller orders can feel disproportionately weak.
  • Checking whether payment method mix changes the true margin picture.
