PayPal fee calculator UK — what you keep after 2026 fees

UK sellers pay 2.9% + 30p to receive a domestic commercial payment — cheaper than the US 3.49% + $0.49, but cross-border adds up: payments from outside the UK add 1.99% (1.29% when the sender is in the EEA — the tool models 1.99% so fees are never understated). Selling digital goods under a fiver? The Micropayments plan (5% + 5p) usually wins below about £10 — pick “United Kingdom · Micropayments” in the country dropdown to compare both plans on your numbers. Converting a foreign-currency payment into pounds costs a 3% spread.

Everything recomputes as you type, and reverse mode solves the exact amount to request when you want to net a fixed figure after PayPal’s cut. The table below is the full UK schedule, verified and dated; for the euro view see the Ireland or Germany pages, or compare PayPal against Stripe for the same payment.
