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.
