Sending or Spending Money

• Balance Inquiry from ATM (in or out network): Check your Venmo balance at any ATM. Venmo does not charge for the inquiry, though some ATMs may.
• Cash Withdrawal at a Bank or Financial Institution: Use your Venmo Mastercard to withdraw cash directly at a bank counter. This over the counter withdrawal carries a $3.00 fee.

How are fees calculated in the Venmo fee calculator?

The tool applies Venmo’s published fee structure to the amount you enter, using the exact rate for the transaction type you pick. These are the rules behind the results:

• Instant transfers: 1.75% of the amount, with a $0.25 minimum fee and a $25.00 maximum fee
• Goods and services and Tap to Pay: the calculator charges the higher of 1.9% plus $0.10 and 2.29% plus $0.09, so business estimates stay on the safe side
• Sending money with a credit card: a flat 3% of the amount you send
• Cashing checks: 1% with a $5 minimum for payroll and government checks, 5% with a $5 minimum for other check types
• Cryptocurrency trades: flat fees from $0.49 to $2.49 on amounts up to $200, then 1.8% up to $1,000 and 1.5% above that
• Venmo Mastercard cash access: $2.50 at out-of-network ATMs and $3.00 for over the counter withdrawals

Every result is rounded to two decimal places, the same way our rounding calculator rounds currency values. If you want to verify any rate by hand, the percentage calculator makes it easy to cross-check a fee like 1.75% of $500.

Use cases of the Venmo fee calculator

Anyone who moves money through Venmo can use the calculator to see fees before committing to a transfer. Here are the most common scenarios:

• For Freelancers: Quickly calculate fees on client payments to know your exact earnings, and pair it with the meeting cost calculator to price the time a project actually takes
• For Online Sellers: Estimate net revenue after applying the Venmo goods and services fee, then track how quickly payouts recover your costs with the time to value calculator
• For Everyday Users: Check the Venmo instant transfer fee before cashing out to a bank, so you know exactly how much lands in your account
• For Reverse Planning: Use the Amount to Pay result to determine how much someone should send so you receive the amount you want after fees

Fees apply once per transaction, so if you are projecting how a balance or a month's volume builds up over time instead, the Exponential Growth Calculator applies a percentage rate to a starting amount across the number of periods you enter.
