FeeClarity is an independent estimation tool and is not affiliated with PayPal. PayPal is a trademark of its owner. Actual fees may vary by country, account type, transaction type, funding source, currency conversion, merchant agreement, and other transaction details.
How rates are selected
FeeClarity uses the recipient's country to choose the published PayPal fee schedule, then compares the sender's country to determine whether the transaction is domestic or international. The calculator separates base processing fees, international add-ons, fixed fees, and currency conversion estimates.
How exchange rates are handled
When payment and receiving currencies differ, the calculator can auto-fill a latest daily market reference rate from Frankfurter. This is not presented as PayPal's exact transaction exchange rate. Users can override the value manually, especially when PayPal shows a final exchange rate inside checkout or account screens.
How results are presented
Each calculator result shows the rate used, official source link, effective date, last verification date, assumptions, formula, and limitations. Unsupported payment types or unsupported domestic rules are blocked instead of estimated with invented data.
Fee source transparency
Where FeeClarity displays actual PayPal fee values, the source is PayPal's published fee documentation and the calculator shows the last verified date. Unsupported markets are clearly labeled rather than estimated from another country's rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is FeeClarity affiliated with PayPal?
No. FeeClarity is independent and does not use PayPal branding as its own identity.
Why does the calculator show warnings?
Warnings appear when a rate is an estimate, when currency conversion is selected, or when verified local rate data is not available.
Can I use this for invoices?
Yes, but treat the result as an estimate and confirm final fees inside PayPal before sending an invoice.
