US dollar example
How much is an instant transfer of $100 from a US business account?
For an eligible US PayPal business-account instant withdrawal of $100 in USD, the fee is $1.50, leaving $98.50 after the deduction. The business-account rate is 1.50% (min $0.50). This is a withdrawal fee, separate from the fee to receive a customer payment.
US business account only; personal-account rates differ. Eligible destination and withdrawal limits apply. No currency conversion or original payment fee is included.

US personal vs business withdrawal fees and limits
USD only, no currency conversion. These published schedules apply to different account types. The calculator above supports both US personal and business accounts. Personal-account pricing outside US / USD is unsupported. Source sections checked October 10, 2026.
| Account | Standard withdrawal | Instant withdrawal | Fee floor / cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal | No fee | 1.75% | $0.25 minimum; $25 maximum |
| Business | No fee | 1.50% | $0.50 minimum; no maximum fee listed |
| Destination / period | Personal account | Business account |
|---|---|---|
| Instant to bank, per transaction | $25,000 | $25,000 |
| Standard or instant to card, per transaction | $5,000 | $50,000 |
| Card, per day | $5,000 | $100,000 |
| Card, per week | $5,000 | $250,000 |
| Card, per month | $15,000 | $500,000 |
A fee cap is not a transfer limit. On a $2,000 instant withdrawal, the personal fee is capped at $25; the business fee is $30. On $10, the minimum produces $0.25 personal or $0.50 business. Neither example checks eligibility, earlier withdrawals or account restrictions.
Standard transfers generally take 1-3 business days; instant transfers normally arrive within minutes, but reviews or bank processing can delay them. The destination and amount offered inside PayPal take precedence over a calculator estimate.

Coverage
Listed Instant Transfer Markets
If a market does not have a currently tracked official instant transfer row, the page labels that pricing as not currently listed instead of inventing a transfer fee.
Official Source Pages
The US APM row covers only the all-other-APMs tier, not named payment methods or payment links and buttons. Check the official schedule for those products.
The zero-fee standard-transfer baseline assumes an eligible withdrawal with no currency conversion. It is not a quote for every account or destination.
Use the methodology page if you need to confirm how unsupported or hidden transfer rows are handled.
