Braintree Fee Calculator
Card rate, with PayPal wallet priced separately.
Processor pricing varies by country, card type and whatever you negotiated, and it changes without much notice. Take the real figures from your own statement — these defaults are a starting point, not your account.
Braintree fee
$2.34
3.28% of the $71.28 charged
The fee is charged on the full $71.28 including shipping and tax, not on the $60.00 of product — so the effective rate against your own revenue is 3.89%, not 2.59%. US card rate. Braintree is PayPal-owned, so PayPal wallet transactions processed through it carry PayPal's rate rather than the card rate.
How the Braintree Fee Calculator works
Braintree is PayPal-owned, which matters for pricing: card transactions carry the card rate, but PayPal wallet transactions processed through it carry PayPal's rate instead. A blended estimate that ignores the split will understate your costs.
Not financial advice. Marketplace fees change, and they vary by country, plan and seller status. Every rate here is an editable default, not a quoted price — check the platform's current fee schedule before you price a product against it. This is not tax or business advice.
Frequently asked questions
What does Braintree charge?
Around 2.59% plus a fixed fee for US card transactions, with rates varying by country. PayPal wallet payments through Braintree are priced at PayPal's rate, which is higher.
How does it compare with Stripe?
Close on headline card pricing. The real differences are in PayPal and Venmo acceptance, which Braintree handles natively, and in developer tooling, where preference varies.
Does it support multiple currencies?
Yes, with settlement in several currencies. Currency conversion carries a spread, as with any processor, so settle in the currency you sell in where you can.
Is there a monthly fee?
Standard pricing has no monthly fee — you pay per transaction. Advanced fraud tools and some enterprise features are charged separately.
