Notes

  • Figures depend on your country, funding source, product type (friends/family vs goods/services), and recipient location. Use your actual fees.
  • Send mode: Net = Gross − (Gross × % + Fixed).
  • Target receive mode: Gross = (Net + Fixed) ÷ (1 − %).
  • Micropayments often use higher % with lower fixed fee.
