How this calculator works
PayPal merchant pricing is usually a percentage fee plus a fixed fee per transaction. Cross-border payments and currency conversion can add another layer of cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate PayPal merchant fees?
Multiply the transaction amount by the PayPal percentage rate, then add the fixed fee. Add any cross-border or currency conversion markup if it applies.
What is net payout?
Net payout is the amount received after PayPal fees are deducted. This calculator also subtracts product and shipping costs to show profit.
Should I use this instead of the main PayPal calculator?
Use this page for merchant and business-fee searches. Use the main PayPal calculator for a more general transaction-fee calculation.
