Hi, I'm Rahul. I'm a freelancer, and like most freelancers I get paid through PayPal, Stripe and a couple of other platforms depending on the client. FeeCalcPro is the tool I wished I'd had the first time an invoice landed in my account noticeably lighter than I expected.
"Every time a client paid me, I had three tabs open just to work out what I'd actually receive. That shouldn't take three websites."
Payment fees look small on paper — a couple of percent and a few cents. But when you work with clients in other countries, they stack up fast. There's the standard fee, then an extra charge because the card was issued abroad, then a currency conversion fee on top, and each platform does it slightly differently.
I kept running into the same three problems:
So I put it all in one place. Type an amount, pick your country and card type, and you see the fee and your real payout straight away — no sign-up, no email, nothing to install. Then, if you want, compare it against PayPal or another processor side by side.
Every calculator uses the same formula the processors use for a standard card payment: fee = amount × percentage + fixed fee, and you receive = amount − fee. The reverse calculator works backwards to tell you what to charge: charge = (target + fixed fee) ÷ (1 − percentage).
The rates themselves come straight from each processor's own pricing pages — stripe.com/pricing (and its local version for each country) and PayPal's merchant fees page. I don't copy them from other calculator sites, because that's how outdated numbers spread.
If your Stripe or PayPal dashboard shows a different number, it's almost always one of the things on the right. And if you think I've got a rate wrong, please tell me — I read every message and fix mistakes quickly.
FeeCalcPro is free and always will be. You don't need an account. Your numbers never leave your browser — I don't see or store what you calculate. The site is supported by ads, and it's completely independent: I'm not affiliated with Stripe, PayPal or any processor, and none of them pay me to say nicer things about them.
It takes about five seconds.
