How Much Are Payment Processing Fees Costing Freelancers in 2025?

Every freelancer knows the pain: you finally land a client, do the work, send the invoice… and then a chunk of your money disappears into fees.

Payment processors like PayPal, Stripe, and Wise are convenient, but the costs add up.

The Hidden Cost of Fees:

PayPal: 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction

Stripe: 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction (higher for international cards)

Wise: ~0.5%–1.5% depending on currency conversion

Example: If you earn $3,000/month, you could lose $1,000–$1,500 per year to fees.

Why This Matters

Fees eat into your profit.

Clients prefer direct transfers but plain details look unprofessional.

Many freelancers raise prices to cover fees, but that makes them less competitive.
