FAQ
Is my payment data uploaded anywhere?
No. The calculation happens entirely in your browser — your amount is never sent to a server.
What fee rate does it use?
PayPal's standard domestic rate of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. Rates vary by country, currency, and account type, so treat this as an estimate.
Can I calculate the amount to charge to receive a specific net total?
Yes — switching to "amount to charge" mode works backward from your target net amount to the gross charge needed.
Does this cover international or currency conversion fees?
No — this covers the standard transaction fee only. Cross-border and currency conversion fees are separate and vary by PayPal's published rates.
