Inspiration

PayPal fees in Germany can be confusing and vary by transaction type. I wanted to simplify this by building a clear, user-friendly fee calculator.

What it does

It calculates PayPal fees for different transaction types (business, private, goods/services, etc.) based on the entered amount and provides the net amount received or needed.

How I built it

Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, I created an interactive form with conditional logic for accurate fee calculations based on PayPal Germany's official rates.

Challenges I ran into

Finding accurate, up-to-date fee structures and handling edge cases like international transactions or micropayments was tricky.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I created a tool that’s simple to use, accurate, and helps users instantly understand their PayPal costs.

What I learned

I deepened my understanding of PayPal’s fee system, JavaScript form handling, and UX design for clarity and accessibility.

What's next for onlinegebuehrenrechner

Add multi-language support, more fee types (like currency conversion), and mobile responsiveness. Possibly turn it into a web app with saved preferences.
