About CalcFees
We are accountants and legal professionals who handle e-commerce bookkeeping for clients across multiple platforms. The reason this site exists is that fee structures change constantly, without notice, and in ways that are genuinely hard to find in official documentation.
PayPal has seven different rate tiers depending on whether the transaction is domestic or international, goods-and-services or friends-and-family, processed through Checkout or through a direct invoice. eBay has category-specific final value fees that vary by whether you have a store subscription, what category the item is in, and whether you exceeded your monthly allotment. Amazon FBA fees depend on category, size tier, weight, and whether the item qualifies for the small-and-light program.
None of this is secret information. All of it is in official platform documentation. But it is scattered, updated without changelogs, and never presented in a way that lets you calculate the actual take-home number before you price something.
Every rate on CalcFees is sourced against official platform documentation, with the date we last verified it noted on each calculator. When a platform changes its fee structure, we update the calculator. We have update alerts set for every major platform's pricing page.
The audience is Etsy sellers pricing handmade goods, freelancers deciding whether to invoice through PayPal or Stripe, FBA sellers working out whether a product is actually profitable after fees, and Fiverr service providers who want to know what they will actually receive before agreeing to a rate.
All calculations run in your browser. The revenue numbers, product prices, and margin figures you enter are not transmitted to any server. They stay on your device.
