Freecash PayPal fees and cashout rules

Direct answer

Freecash's current PayPal instructions list a 5% withdrawal fee on all amounts. Cashouts of $5, $10, and $20 also carry a $1 fee; above $20, that extra fee does not apply. Confirm the displayed total before submitting a withdrawal.

Keep the conditions attached

Detail	Officially documented rule	Checked	Source
PayPal range	$5–$200 options	2026-10-22	PayPal instructions
Fee	5% plus $1 on $5, $10, and $20 cashouts	2026-10-22	PayPal instructions
First withdrawal	Regional minimum of $5–$20	2026-10-22	Regional qualification
Verification	First withdrawal verification; ID and camera documented	2026-10-22	PayPal instructions

The general PayPal marketing page shows a 5% fee summary without the small-cashout supplement. The detailed withdrawal help includes that extra fee. We retain both sources and use the more explicit help instructions with this qualification, rather than silently presenting the shorter summary as complete.

Estimate the amount you receive

In a worked arithmetic example, a $20 withdrawal with a 5% fee and a $1 fixed fee leaves $18 before other possible costs. This is a fee illustration, not an earnings forecast. Enter the currently displayed terms in the cashout calculator; its default example is generic, not a permanent Freecash preset.

Before starting an offer

Check required purchases, subscription renewals, tracking conditions, completion deadlines, and when rewards become available. A displayed gross reward should not be compared with a net withdrawal as if they were the same value. Continue with Freecash vs Swagbucks or the low-cashout guide.
