PayPal Fee Calculation Formulas

1. Fee Deduction (Net Amount)

Calculate how much you’ll receive after PayPal deducts fees:

$$\text{Net Amount}=\text{Transaction Amount}-\text{PayPal Fee}$$

Where:

$$\text{PayPal Fee}=(\text{Transaction Amount}\times \text{Percentage Rate})+\text{Fixed Fee}$$

2. Fee Inclusion (Amount to Charge)

Determine how much you need to charge to cover PayPal fees:

Amount to Charge=Desired Net Amount+Fixed Fee1−Percentage Rate\text{Amount to Charge} = \frac{\text{Desired Net Amount} + \text{Fixed Fee}}{1 - \text{Percentage Rate}}Amount to Charge=1−Percentage RateDesired Net Amount+Fixed Fee​

3. Cross-Border Fee

For international transactions:

$$\text{Cross-Border Fee}=\text{Transaction Amount}\times \text{Cross-Border Rate}$$

• Transaction Amount: $100
• PayPal Fee: 2.9% + $0.30
• Calculation: $$\text{PayPal Fee}=(100\times 0.029)+0.30=2.90+0.30=3.20$$ $$\text{Net Amount}=100-3.20=96.80$$
• Result: You’ll receive $96.80.

Example 2: Fee Inclusion (Amount to Charge)

• Desired Net Amount: $100
• PayPal Fee: 2.9% + $0.30
• Calculation: Amount to Charge=100+0.301−0.029=100.300.971=103.33\text{Amount to Charge} = \frac{100 + 0.30}{1 - 0.029} = \frac{100.30}{0.971} = 103.33Amount to Charge=1−0.029100+0.30​=0.971100.30​=103.33
