How this simulation works
Each game is one of ten templates for a kind of work, filled with this platform’s real data where we have it. Anything we don’t know is either the typical value for its platform type or a plain assumption, and is labelled so below. Demand, job volume and luck are simulated.
| What | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Platform cutPayPal publishes no single percentage ("Fees vary by transaction type and country"), so the game uses the median cut of 15 payment receiving platforms: 1.7%. | 1.7% | Typical for type |
| Days before money can be withdrawnPublished: "Standard bank transfer free, Instant Transfer 1.75% (max $25)" | 0 d | Platform data |
| Minimum payoutThe game treats it as no minimum. | Not stated | Assumed |
| Average client invoice | $600 | Assumed |
| Fixed fee per withdrawal to your bank | $1.5 | Assumed |
| Currency conversion margin | 200% | Assumed |
A simplified simulation based on PayPal’s published rules, for learning only. It is not an earnings promise: real results depend on your skills, location, demand and PayPal’s current rules.
