# PayPal Fee Calculator UK What you keep on PayPal UK — 2.9% + 30p, not the US rate in pounds Verified on 2026-07-28. Free, no account, no sign-up. ## Common questions ### What are the PayPal fees in the UK? On an ordinary sale PayPal UK takes 2.9% of the amount received plus a fixed £0.30. On £100 that is £3.20, leaving you £96.80. PayPal publishes 4 rates for receiving money in the UK. ### How do I calculate PayPal fees? Multiply the amount received by the rate for how you were paid, then add that line's fixed fee — 2.9% plus £0.30 on an ordinary sale. If the buyer is abroad, one surcharge is added to that rate rather than replacing it. ### What is the PayPal Goods and Services fee in the UK? PayPal's UK fee page publishes no line called "Goods and Services" — that wording belongs to its US schedule. The line that applies to a UK sale is "All Other Commercial Transactions", at 2.9% plus £0.30. A calculator quoting the US 2.99% for a UK seller is quoting the wrong country. ### How much does PayPal charge for an international payment in the UK? One surcharge is added to the domestic rate: 1.29% when the buyer is in the EEA, 1.99% for all other markets. An ordinary £100 sale from the EEA costs £4.49 instead of £3.20. ### Why did my PayPal QR code fee change? PayPal splits QR code payments at £10.00, and the threshold moves the rate and the fixed fee together. At £10.00 you pay 2% plus £0.05; one penny more and it becomes 1.5% plus £0.10. ## Sources Every figure above comes from its publisher's official document, never from an aggregator. - **PayPal Merchant Fees (UK)** — PayPal, Inc., Last updated 2026-07-15. ## The full calculator The interactive calculator, the complete fee schedule and the amount kept at each price are on the page itself: https://feesleft.com/paypal-uk
