How to calculate PayPal fees

  1. Identify Transaction Amount: Determine the total amount of the transaction before fees.

  2. Determine PayPal’s Fee Percentage: PayPal charges a fee based on a percentage of the transaction amount plus a fixed fee. However, these fees can change, so make sure to check the latest fee structure on PayPal’s official website.

  3. Calculate PayPal’s Fee: Multiply the transaction amount by the percentage fee and add the fixed fee.
