    All rates below are editable example assumptions, not live provider quotes. Enter your actual processor, currency, country and marketplace charges. A comparison does not imply identical tax or payment services.

    The refund field adjusts this estimate. Returned processing fees, disputes, taxes, currency conversion and payout charges require separate adjustments. Cartcord commission is 0%; processor fees and plan limits still apply.

    Understand the refund and fee assumptions

    Enter gross sales before refunds and the number of original orders. The estimate applies your percentage fee to those sales, adds the fixed charge for each whole order, then subtracts refunds and monthly operating costs. Refunds in this illustration are limited to the sales entered. A full refund can leave a negative result because the model retains the original processing charges and operating costs.

    Replace the example rates with the terms that apply to your merchant account. This calculator does not retrieve a live PayPal quote, issue a refund or calculate tax, currency conversion and dispute charges automatically. Compare its assumptions with your provider statement. If your provider returns some processing fees, account for that separately when reviewing the final business result.
