PayPal Fees Calculator v1.0 has been released. This was actually developed just before Christmas of last year but we’ve only just got round to publishing its release here. So thank you for your patience! PayPal Fees Calculator is a small GUI program developed in the C# programming language and it’s designed to calculate the PayPal fees on your transaction. For example, if you wanted to charge £5 for something but want to know how much you’ll receive after PayPal fees then this calculator will tell you. What’s more, if you wanted to send £5 to someone but didn’t want them to incur PayPal fees, it’ll tell you how much you need to send to cover the PayPal fees.

PayPal Fees Calculator allows you to enter the rates for your country. As you probably know PayPal charge different fee rates depending on the country you live in. They also charge additional fees for transactions sent or received, to or from, overseas. Again, further fees are charged for any currency conversions that take place during a transaction. In the above screenshot it shows an example of a standard PayPal payment from a UK person to another UK person using the GBP currency. The standard PayPal fee rates for the UK is 3.4% of the transaction, plus a one-time fee of £0.20. You can find your local fee rates on the PayPal website. However, if you’re planning on sending a payment overseas, or in a different currency, be advised that additional fee rates may apply. This calculator will calculate the fees based on the fee rates you enter. You can read more about PayPal fees here:
