Payoneer Fee Calculator for Indian Users

The Payoneer fee calculator shows a range because Payoneer's pages give different fees for Indian users. The low estimate uses no receiving fee and a 1% conversion fee. The high estimate uses a 1% receiving fee with a $1 minimum, a 4% conversion fee, and 18% GST on the receiving fee.

Low: INR = amount x mid-market rate x (1 - 1%). High: receiving fee = 1% of amount (minimum $1); INR = (amount - receiving fee) x mid-market rate x (1 - 4%) - 18% GST on the receiving fee in INR.

For example, on a $1,000 payment at an example rate of ₹96.79, the low estimate is ₹95,822.10, a cost of 1.00%. The high estimate deducts a $10 receiving fee, converts $990 at ₹92.92 and subtracts ₹174.22 GST, giving ₹91,814.99, a cost of 5.14%. With no receiving fee and the 3.00% in Payoneer's India fee notice, it would be ₹93,886.30.

1. Enter the USD amount your client will send to your Payoneer receiving account.
2. Check the mid-market rate and its date shown under the amount.
3. Read the low and high INR estimates and the cost range between them.
4. Sign in to Payoneer and open the Fees page in your account, which Payoneer says shows the fees that apply to you.
5. Use your account's figures to see where your payment falls inside the range.

The Payoneer fee calculator result is a range, and your actual payout is likely to fall between the low and high estimates. A wide gap means Payoneer's published figures disagree for your amount. For a $1,000 payment the total cost runs from 1.00% to 5.14%. Your account Fees page shows the exact figure.

• Low estimate: Uses the India multi-currency account page, which says receiving USD is free for customers from India, and the bottom of the 1% to 4% conversion range.
• High estimate: Uses the global pricing page's 1% receiving fee with a $1 minimum and the top of the 1% to 4% conversion range.
• Fee notice: Payoneer's India fee notice lists 3.00% for withdrawals in a currency different from the bank account currency, which sits inside the range.
• Small payments: On a $50 payment the high estimate costs about 6.3%, because the $1 minimum receiving fee weighs more.

• Conflicting fees: The India pricing page lists a fixed fee or 1% for receiving non-local currency and 1% to 4% for conversion. The global pricing page lists 1% with a $1 minimum. The India account page says USD receiving is free for India.
• Rates used: Payoneer says its conversion fee is included in its conversion rate, so the calculator applies it as a percentage off the mid-market rate. Figures were read on 8 October 2026.
• Taxes included: No Payoneer page we checked states how GST applies to its fees. The low estimate adds none, and the high estimate adds 18% on the receiving fee only.
• Not covered: The unpublished fixed receiving fee, the $29.95 annual account fee, card and PayPal payment requests, marketplace payouts and intermediary bank charges on wires are not included.

• Single figure: Quoting one Payoneer fee for India can be wrong, because Payoneer's own pages give different figures for the same payment.
• Annual fee: Payoneer charges $29.95 if you receive less than $6,000 in any 12 consecutive months, which adds cost for low volumes.
• Wire charges: Payoneer says intermediary banks may take fees on USD wire transfers, so the amount reaching your account can be lower than the invoice.
• Skipping the account: Payoneer says the fees that apply to you appear on the Fees page of your account, so check it before quoting a price.
