The Price Is Not What You Get

You sell something for $50. The platform takes its cut, the payment processor takes its cut, the currency gets converted at someone else's rate, and withdrawing the money costs a fee too. By the time it lands in your account, that $50 might be $42. This calculator stacks every layer — platform fee, per-order flat fee, currency conversion, withdrawal fee — and shows what actually reaches you, side by side for two platforms, so the cheaper route is obvious.

Why Compare Two at Once?

Because fees are never one number. Fiverr's flat 20% looks brutal until you realize PayPal's 4.4% international fee plus conversion plus withdrawal on small orders can take a bigger bite. Etsy looks cheap at 6.5% — until the listing, transaction, and payment fees stack. Put your two real options in columns A and B and let the math pick.

The Hidden Fees Most People Miss

Currency conversion: getting paid in dollars and spending in rupees (or euros, or pounds) usually costs 0.5–2% above the mid-market rate, buried in the exchange rate you're offered.
Withdrawal fees: some platforms charge a flat fee per payout — painful on small, frequent withdrawals, trivial on large monthly ones.
Per-order flat fees: $0.30 sounds like nothing until you're selling $3 digital items — then it's 10% before the percentage fee even starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these fee rates accurate?

They're typical published rates, but platforms change them and rates vary by country. Treat presets as a starting point, check your platform's current fee page, and tweak the custom fields to match.

Why does the cheaper percentage sometimes lose?

Flat per-order fees and conversion spreads punish small orders. A 20% flat fee on a $100 order beats 4.4% + $0.30 + 2% conversion + $5 withdrawal — run your real numbers instead of guessing.

Should I include currency conversion?

Yes, if you earn in one currency and spend in another. It's the most commonly forgotten fee, and 1–2% on every order adds up fast over a year.
