All purchases in Google Play are subject to a transaction fee to the merchant. These fees vary by currency.
Google Play transaction fees to the developer
The transaction fee for all purchases in Google Play (apps and in-app purchases) is 30% of the price the customer pays. In other words, developers get 70% of the payment and the remaining 30% goes to the distribution partner and operating fees.
