What Is GetCalcWise?
GetCalcWise is a free tool hub built for online sellers, freelancers, and entrepreneurs who want to understand exactly how much they earn after payment processing fees.
Most sellers know they pay fees. Few actually calculate how those fees affect their profit — until they’re shocked by how little is left at the end of the month.
We built GetCalcWise to fix that.
Enter any amount into our calculators and instantly see your exact fee and take-home amount. No complicated spreadsheets. No guesswork. No registration.
Why Payment Fees Matter More Than You Think
Payment processing fees seem small on any single transaction. But across hundreds of payments per month, they add up to serious money.
| Monthly Revenue | Stripe Fees | PayPal Fees | Etsy Fees |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | ~$32 | ~$40 | ~$95 |
| $3,000 | ~$96 | ~$118 | ~$285 |
| $5,000 | ~$160 | ~$196 | ~$475 |
| $10,000 | ~$320 | ~$393 | ~$950 |
Annual impact at $3,000/month:
- Stripe: ~$1,152/year in fees
- PayPal: ~$1,416/year in fees
- Etsy: ~$3,420/year in fees
These are predictable costs — which means they can be planned for, priced into your rates, and minimized with the right strategies.

Stripe vs PayPal vs Etsy: Quick Fee Comparison
Not all payment processors are equal. Here’s what each platform costs on a $100 payment:
| Platform | Fee on $100 | You Receive | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stripe | $3.20 | $96.80 | Freelancers, SaaS, Online stores |
| PayPal | $3.98 | $96.02 | Marketplace sellers, eBay buyers |
| Etsy | $6.75+ | $93.25 | Handmade, vintage, craft sellers |
Stripe is cheapest for most transaction types. PayPal offers better brand recognition. Etsy bundles marketplace traffic with its fees — making the comparison more complex than it first appears.
Use our calculators to see the exact difference for your specific transaction amounts.

The Mistake That Costs Sellers Thousands Per Year
The most common pricing mistake among online sellers: setting prices without accounting for fees.
Example: You want to make $100 profit on a product. You charge $100. Stripe takes $3.20. You receive $96.80 — not $100.
Multiply this across 500 transactions per month and you’re leaving $1,600 per year on the table — simply because you forgot to calculate fees before setting your price.
The fix is simple: always calculate first, then price.
