Karbon’s PayPal Fee Calculator - Know Exactly What You’ll Receive

PayPal’s conversion fees, forex rates, and transaction charges can leave you confused about what you’re receiving. Karbon’s PayPal Fee Calculator simplifies this by giving you the exact amount you will receive after all deductions.

With PayPal, the advertised 4.4% transaction fee can quickly add up with extra costs like fixed fee and currency conversion charges, pushing total fees to over 8%.
