Cash App Fee Calculator (2026): Business & Instant Deposit Fees

Cash App Fee Calculator

Sending and receiving money on Cash App is free until you run a business, fund a payment with a credit card, or cash out instantly. The instant-deposit fee even varies per transaction, so this calculator lets you set the rate Cash App shows you, with a reverse mode for what to charge.

Cash App charges no fee for personal payments in 2026. Business accounts pay 2.75% on payments received, credit-card-funded payments cost 3%, and instant deposits to your bank cost a variable 0.5% to 2.5% with a $0.25 minimum; the exact fee is shown in the app before you confirm. Standard deposits of 1 to 3 business days are free.

How Cash App fees work in 2026

Personal Cash App payments are free to send and receive, and moving money to your bank with a standard deposit (1 to 3 business days) costs nothing. Cash App charges in three situations. If you run a business account, every payment you receive is docked 2.75%, deducted automatically. If you fund a payment with a credit card, the sender pays 3%. And if you want an instant deposit to your debit card, Cash App charges a variable fee between 0.5% and 2.5% of the amount, with a $0.25 minimum; the exact percentage is shown in the app before you confirm.

Cash App's terms have moved around: an early-2026 terms update raised the top of the instant-deposit range to 2.5%. Because the fee varies per user and per transaction, this calculator has a slider so you can match the rate your app shows you.

The formulas

Business fee = amount × 2.75%.
Instant deposit fee = max(amount × your rate, $0.25).
What to charge to receive a target = target ÷ (1 − rate), or target + $0.25 when the minimum applies.

Worked examples

A customer pays your business account $100. Cash App takes 2.75%, so the fee is $2.75 and you receive $97.25.

You cash out $200 instantly and your app quotes 1.5%. The fee is $3.00, so your bank receives $197.00. Cash out $10 instantly at the same rate and the $0.25 minimum applies instead of the calculated $0.15, so you receive $9.75.

To land exactly $100 in your bank on an instant deposit quoted at 1.5%, cash out $100 ÷ (1 − 0.015) = $101.52.

Ways to pay less

Standard deposits are free, so use instant deposit only when you need the money the same day. If your instant-deposit rate sits at the high end of the 0.5%-2.5% range, waiting 1 to 3 days is usually worth it. Never fund payments with a credit card at 3% when a debit card or bank account is free. And if you take customer payments regularly, compare the 2.75% business rate against Venmo's 1.9% + $0.10 business fee.

Limitations

Rates are Cash App's published US fees, and the instant-deposit fee is variable by design: Cash App raised its top rate to 2.5% in a February 2026 terms update, so treat the slider default as a starting point and always confirm the rate shown in your app. Bitcoin and stock transactions, ATM fees, and foreign transactions have separate fees not covered here. This tool covers US accounts only.
