About the PayPal Fee Calculator

PayPal is convenient and its fees are easy to underestimate, especially on small payments where the fixed 49 cents bites hardest. This calculator lays out the exact split on any amount, so a 10 sale and a 1,000 invoice both show their true net in one glance.

The reverse mode answers the classic seller question: what do I need to charge to actually receive a round number? Enter your target, get the gross to ask for, and stop leaking margin to fees you forgot to account for.
