Helping freelancers keep more of every invoice they send.
FeeCut is an independent, advertising-supported fee calculator built for the people and teams who actually do the work — not the payment rails that sit between them and their money.
Transparency, always.
Every formula in FeeCut is explicit, based on the public fee schedules for Stripe, PayPal, and Wise. No black boxes, no fudge factors, no rounding bias to favor a sponsor.
Built for the underserved.
Solo operators and small teams pay the same percentage fees as billion-dollar SaaS companies, but without the pricing team to shop for custom rates. FeeCut closes that gap.
Fast, local, private math.
The calculator runs entirely in your browser. Your invoice values never hit our servers. We publish the formulas so you can audit them against your own spreadsheet any time.
Our story
FeeCut started as a spreadsheet shared between a handful of freelance designers and developers who were tired of seeing $30 to $150 silently disappear from every international invoice. The math was always the same: "how much do I actually need to charge so my bank deposit matches the number I quoted?" — and nobody wanted to do that algebra before coffee.
That spreadsheet eventually became FeeCut: a free, independent, advertising-supported site that compares the three most common payout rails (Stripe, PayPal, and Wise) side by side, in both directions — either "what do I net if I invoice X" or "what number do I put on the invoice so I see exactly Y in my account".
We are independent. FeeCut is not owned by, partnered with, or controlled by Stripe, PayPal, Wise, or any other payment processor. We do not take referral commissions when you click a provider link, and we never adjust our formulas to make one provider look better than another in order to collect a bounty.
If FeeCut saves you a single awkward "sorry, I forgot to account for fees" re-invoice, or a single Wise transfer that beats a card charge by $60, the project is doing what we built it to do.
Built for speed. Engineered for privacy.
We believe you have a right to know how the tool you're using is built and where your data goes (spoiler: nowhere).
Client-Side Only
All fee calculations execute in your browser using JavaScript. No API calls, no backend processing, no database writes. Your financial numbers stay on your machine.
Zero Tracking by Default
FeeCut ships with no analytics SDK, no pixel trackers, and no fingerprinting. The only cookies on the site come from Google AdSense for advertising. We cannot see what you type into the calculator.
Modern Stack, Instant Load
Built with Next.js and React for server-side rendered pages that load instantly. Tailwind CSS for a clean, responsive design system. TypeScript throughout for formula correctness.
Edge-Deployed
Static pages are pre-rendered and deployed to a global edge CDN, ensuring sub-second load times for users worldwide. No origin server round-trip needed for page views.
What FeeCut is not
- We are not a payment processor, a bank, or a money transmitter. We never hold your funds and we never see your card or bank numbers.
- We do not provide financial, tax, or legal advice. Our output numbers are estimates based on public fee schedules; your provider's final invoice will always be the authoritative one.
- We do not sell paid placements. Stripe, PayPal, and Wise appear side by side because our users use all three, not because any of them paid to be on the page.
