Frequently asked questions
Which PayPal rates does it use?
In the US: 3.49% + 0.49 USD for PayPal Checkout and other commercial payments, and 2.99% for goods and services payments sent through PayPal. In France: 2.90% + 0.35 EUR for commercial payments. All from PayPal's fee pages, checked on November 3, 2026.
How is the amount to ask for worked out?
It's the smallest amount, to the cent, that still leaves what you want once PayPal's percentage and fixed fee are taken off.
What about payments from abroad?
PayPal adds a percentage on international payments: 1.50% in the US; for a French account, 1.29% from the UK and 1.99% from outside the EEA. The calculator uses domestic rates: add that share for a payment from abroad.
Are PayPal's fees the same for everyone?
No. They depend on your country, the payment method and the currency, and PayPal changes them: check the fee page of your account's country before you rely on a figure.
