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.
Currency conversion is an exchange-rate question
When PayPal converts one currency into another, the final transaction exchange rate may differ from a market reference rate. That difference can act like a conversion cost even when it is shown through the exchange rate rather than as a separate line item.
How FeeClarity estimates conversion cost
FeeClarity can load a latest daily market reference rate from Frankfurter when a supported currency pair is available. Users can also enter a manual rate. The calculator does not claim the reference rate is PayPal's exact final transaction rate.
Avoid double-counting
If you enter PayPal's final displayed exchange rate, turn off the separate currency conversion estimate. Otherwise the exchange-rate difference may be counted twice.
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
No. FeeClarity is independent and does not use PayPal branding as its own identity.
Warnings appear when a rate is an estimate, when currency conversion is selected, or when verified local rate data is not available.
Yes, but treat the result as an estimate and confirm final fees inside PayPal before sending an invoice.
