Why this rate?

This transaction is classified as domestic because the sender and recipient PayPal accounts are in the same market and no international override is selected.

The selected transaction type and recipient country determine the published PayPal fee schedule used for this estimate.

How this was calculated

Estimated fees = gross received amount x 3.49% + 0.49 USD. Net received = gross received amount - estimated fees.

Calculation assumptions

  • Sender's country: US
  • Transaction type: commercial
  • Payment currency: USD
  • Receiving currency: USD
  • No exchange rate used
  • Domestic transaction
  • No currency conversion estimate included

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.

Invoice fees depend on how the customer pays

A PayPal invoice can be paid through different funding methods, and some schedules distinguish invoice payments from other commercial payments. The selected country, payment type, and currency determine which verified rule FeeClarity can apply.

Estimate before you send the invoice

Use the standard calculator to estimate the amount received from a planned invoice amount, or use the reverse calculator when the invoice needs to produce a specific net amount after fees.

Final review checklist

Confirm the invoice amount, sender country, recipient country, payment currency, receiving currency, international status, and whether currency conversion will happen before relying on the estimate.

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.
