FAQ
How do you calculate transaction fees?
Fee = Amount ร (Rate/100) + Fixed Fee. Net = Amount โ Fee. To receive an exact amount, invoice (Target + Fixed Fee) / (1 โ Rate).
What is a reverse fee calculator?
A reverse fee calculator shows how much to invoice so you receive a desired net amount after fees are deducted. Our calculator shows it as "ask for".
Can I use it for PayPal, Stripe, Upwork, Fiverr or crypto?
Yes. PayPal and Stripe have ready settings with US rates checked on 2026-10-19. For Upwork, Fiverr and other platforms, enter the fee percentage from your contract or the platform's fee page.
What is the cheapest way to receive international payments?
It depends on your country, the currency, the amount and who pays the fee, so there is no single answer. Compare PayPal, Wise, Payoneer, a bank transfer and USDT on your own numbers: the payment methods comparison is a starting point.
Is the calculator free and private?
It is free and needs no account. The calculation runs in your browser and the amounts you type are not sent to RealFeeCalc. The site shows Google ads and uses cookies; see the MethodologyPrivacy Policy.
Where do the PayPal and Stripe rates come from?

Is receiving USDT legal?
The rules depend on the country, so check your local law and tax rules. This is not legal, tax or financial advice.
