PayPal Fee Formulas

Let:
R = Amount Received/Sent (Input for 'receive' mode)
T = Target Amount Recipient Receives (Input for 'send' mode)
P = Fee Percentage (as decimal, e.g., 2.9% = 0.029)
F = Fixed Fee ($)
Fee = Calculated Fee Amount
Net = Amount After Fee
TotalSend = Total Amount to Send (for 'send' mode)

'Receive' Mode:
- Fee = (R * P) + F
- Net = R - Fee
'Send' Mode (Reverse Calculation):
- TotalSend = (T + F) / (1 - P)
- Fee = TotalSend - T

Disclaimer: PayPal fees vary by country, transaction type (goods & services, friends & family, international), currency conversion, etc. This calculator uses a basic structure and assumes domestic US Goods & Services rates by default. Always verify official PayPal fee structures for your specific situation.
