About the Venmo Fee Calculator

Venmo is free for paying friends from a bank account, debit card or Venmo balance, but it charges sellers. A payment to a business profile costs the business 1.9% + $0.10. A payment to a personal profile that the sender marks as goods and services costs the receiver 2.99%, and in return the buyer gets Venmo's purchase protection. In-person Tap to Pay on a business profile costs 2.29% + $0.09.

Moving money out costs extra only if you're in a hurry. A standard transfer to your bank takes one to three business days and is free. Instant Transfer costs 1.75% of the amount, with a minimum of $0.25 and a maximum of $25. On the sender's side, paying with a credit card adds a 3% fee to what they pay, while the amount you receive stays the same.

The calculator applies these rates to your amount, adds the Instant Transfer fee if you tick it, and works backwards to show what to charge so you net an exact figure. Venmo is US-only, so everything is in US dollars.

Examples

Business profile, $50 → fee $1.05, you receive $48.95
Goods and services to a personal profile, $50 → fee $1.50
Instant Transfer of $48.95 → extra $0.86

Frequently asked questions

5 answers
How much does Venmo charge a business?
1.9% + $0.10 per payment to a business profile, or 2.29% + $0.09 for in-person Tap to Pay.
What is the Venmo goods and services fee?
2.99% of the payment, paid by the person receiving it, when the sender marks the payment as for goods and services. The buyer gets purchase protection in return.
How much is Venmo Instant Transfer?
1.75% of the amount transferred, with a minimum of $0.25 and a maximum of $25. A standard transfer, usually one to three business days, is free.
Can I avoid Venmo fees when selling?
Not within Venmo's rules. Friends-and-family payments are free but are meant for personal payments, and they leave the buyer without protection. Business and goods-and-services payments are the allowed way to take money for sales.
Is anything I type sent to PayPal, Stripe or anyone else?
No. The fee schedules are built into the page and every calculation runs in your browser. Nothing you enter leaves your device.
