Domain Renewal by Transfer

I have extended my domain for a year by transferring it. It won’t expire until April, but it's unwise to attempt a transfer during the last few days, in case something goes wrong. However, I had to pay extra fees…
$12.88 (base price) - $3.00 (promotion) = **$9.88 CAD** initially
$9.88 * (100% + 12% HST) + $0.22 Paypal fee = $11.29 (rounded up from $11.2856)
Since it was in CAD, and I received payments in USD, PayPal also charged extra for currency conversion, since 1 USD = 1.01 CAD at that time…
$11.29 CAD / 0.981321 = **$11.51 USD** finally (rounded up again!!!)
After all that, I ended up paying 16% more (rounded down). All of this rounding was not in my favor.
