| Transaction Type | Percentage Fee | Fixed Fee | Fee on $100 | Net Take-Home |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US Domestic Goods & Services | 2.99% | $0.49 | -$3.48 | $96.52 |
| International Cross-Border | 4.49% | $0.49 | -$4.98 | $95.02 |
| Donations / 501(c)(3) Non-Profit | 1.99% | $0.49 | -$2.48 | $97.52 |
| QR Code / In-Person (> $10) | 1.90% | $0.10 | -$2.00 | $98.00 |
If you simply add 2.99% to your invoice, you will still end up short because PayPal takes 2.99% of the newly increased total. Use the verified algebraic formula below:
Example for $1,000 domestic payout: ($1,000 + $0.49) / (1 - 0.0299) = $1,031.33. When your client pays $1,031.33, PayPal deducts $31.33, leaving you with exactly $1,000.00.
