NayaPay Fee & Currency Conversion Calculator: Visa FX Rates, Wallet Tiers & Advance Tax
The NayaPay Fee & Currency Conversion Calculator provides exact cost modeling for NayaPay Visa debit and virtual cards across domestic, merchant, and international POS transactions.
Operating as an SBP-licensed Electronic Money Institution (EMI), NayaPay offers digital wallets linked to physical Visa debit cards, physical Arc cards, and digital virtual cards.
For international online spending (Amazon, Coursera, Meta Ads, Netflix), NayaPay applies a 3.5% international transaction markup over Visa's prevailing currency exchange rate, plus the mandatory FBR Section 236Y advance tax (5% for Filers vs 10% for Non-Filers). In addition, NayaPay enforces tiered account limits (Basic: Rs. 50,000/month; Upgraded: Rs. 200,000/month; Biometric Super Wallet: Rs. 500,000/month).
Visa International Settlement Markup (3.5%), SBP Tier Limits & Section 236Y Deductions
The calculation model evaluates Visa foreign exchange settlement rules: (1) Base Currency Amount: Spend USD * Visa International Settlement Rate; (2) NayaPay Foreign Exchange Fee: Base Currency Amount * 3.50%; (3) FBR Section 236Y Advance Tax: (Base Currency Amount + NayaPay Fee) * (5.00% IF Filer, ELSE 10.00%); (4) Total Net Deducted from NayaPay Wallet: Base Currency Amount + NayaPay Fee + Section 236Y Tax; (5) Effective All-In Exchange Rate: Total Deducted / Spend USD. Domestic transactions (NBP ATM cash withdrawal, Raast transfers) carry independent fee structures.
