Official Direct Mapping Where Listed

Each supported row is calculated from the tracked market-specific PayPal fee data. Unsupported rows are explicitly labeled instead of being treated as zero-fee options.

Coverage

One Market, Multiple PayPal Fee Types

Use this page when your real question is not a single fee amount, but which PayPal payment type leaves the lowest fee or lowest gross-up requirement.

This page compares only the fee rows currently tracked for the selected market.

Friends & Family is handled on its own dedicated calculator because personal-transfer logic needs different inputs than standard merchant fee rows.

Compare Listed Types First

This page is most useful when your market has multiple tracked PayPal fee rows and you want to see the fee gap without switching pages.

Unsupported Is Not Free

If a type is not listed for the selected market, the table marks it as unsupported rather than pretending it has no fee.

Use Reverse Mode For Pricing

Reverse mode is the better view when your real question is how much to charge so the post-fee amount still lands on your target.
