How much does PayPal charge for a $100 transaction?

The fee on a $100 PayPal transaction depends on the type of payment. Personal payments funded by a bank account or debit card may be free in some cases. Business or merchant payments usually include a percentage-based fee plus a fixed fee. If you fund the payment with a credit card or use instant transfers, additional charges may apply. The exact amount PayPal takes from $100 therefore depends on whether it is personal, commercial, domestic, or international. You should check the fee breakdown before confirming the transaction. PayPal’s pricing can also change, so current terms matter more than a single rule of thumb. For current numbers, our PayPal fee calculator shows the fee and your net on any amount.
