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.

Country-specific fee rules

FeeClarity currently includes verified US commercial and invoice fee rules from PayPal's published US merchant fee schedule.

What to verify

Check PayPal's local fee schedule for domestic rates, international surcharge rules, fixed fees by currency, and conversion spread language. These values can change by account type and product.

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.
