What is the Upwork fee? 

For the freelancer, the Upwork fee is sliding and can be different on each order depending on the contract amount. 

Here’s how it works:

  • $0-$500 in earnings from a client: 20% service fee applied to earnings
  • $500.01-$10,000 in earnings from a client: 10% service fee
  • $10,000.01 or more in earnings from a client: 5% service fee

So here you can see that if your lifetime earning with a client is less than $500 then you will be charged a 20% fee on each transaction

Similarly, if your lifetime earning is more than $10000 then you will be charged a 5% Upwork fee

If you don't have any previous history with the client and placed the first order of $800 then you will be charged 20% fee on the first $500 and 10% fee on the remaining $300. 

As long as for employers, Upwork charge a flat fee of 3% for each transaction which is called a processing fee.
