How it works
Formulas apply standard published equations or fee schedules in client-side JavaScript — not personalized medical or tax advice.
Formula
Fee ≈ amount × percentage + fixed; net = amount − fee (mode dependent).

Invoice gross-up
Need $1000 net on goods/services? Gross about $1030.29 before 2.9% + fixed domestic fee (verify current table).
When to use PayPal Fee Calculator
Freelancers quoting fixed project fees need to gross-up so PayPal fees do not eat intended income.
Common use cases
- Invoice $1000 so net after 2.9% + fixed meets goal.
- Compare Goods and Services vs Friends protection tradeoffs externally.
- Micropayment pricing for small digital goods.
Inputs and outputs
- USD currency amounts

Frequently asked questions
- Is this medical or tax advice?
- No. Due dates, TDEE, and paycheck outputs are estimates; consult clinicians, IRS guidance, or payroll for official figures.
- Do marketplace fees change?
- Platforms update fee tables; treat results as planning approximations and verify on seller dashboards.
- Should I add waste factor?
- Yes for concrete, tile, and mulch — many pros add 5–10% beyond raw calculator output.
