What is the Venmo Fees Calculator?

The Venmo Fees Calculator helps you calculate exactly how much you will pay or receive when sending or receiving money through Venmo. Whether you are a small business accepting payments, a freelancer invoicing clients, or an individual splitting bills, this tool instantly shows you the fees and final amounts.

How Does Our Venmo Fees Calculator Work?

Simply enter the transaction amount and select the transaction type (Merchant Payment or Personal). The calculator uses Venmo's current fee structure to instantly show you the percentage fee, fixed fee, total fees charged, and the amount you will actually receive. For merchant transactions, it also shows how much you should ask for to receive a specific amount after fees.

Venmo Fee Structure

Merchant Payments

When you receive payments for goods and services through Venmo, the standard merchant fee is 1.9% + $0.10 per transaction. This fee is deducted from the payment amount, so you receive the transaction amount minus the fee.

Personal Payments

Personal payments sent using your Venmo balance or linked bank account are completely free. If you use a credit card to send a personal payment, a 3% fee applies. Personal payments are intended for splitting rent, paying friends back, or other non-commercial transfers.
