How does the PayPal fee work?
- On commercial payments the fee is paid by whoever RECEIVES, not the sender (on personal transfers between friends and family, the sender pays instead). That is why, for an exact amount to arrive, you have to send a little more.
- The standard formula is a percentage of the amount plus a fixed charge (5.4% + $0.30 by default).
- Currency conversion is a separate charge that only applies when the money changes currency.
This calculator is just a utility for your own PayPal transfers. It is NOT the price of topping up your balance with Krosty Shop.
Frequently asked questions
Who pays the PayPal fee?
On commercial payments the receiver pays it; on personal transfers the sender does. That is why, for an exact amount to arrive, you have to send a little more.
How much does PayPal charge per transaction?
The fee varies with country, account type, transaction and currency. A common reference for international transfers is 5.4% + $0.30; in the calculator you can adjust both values to yours.
Does it include currency conversion?
Only if you turn it on. Conversion (~3.5–4.5%) is a separate charge PayPal applies when the money changes currency. If you send and receive in the same currency (USD→USD), it does not apply.
