Upwork Fee Calculator

Upwork is one of the most widely used freelance marketplaces where employers spend more than 2.52 billion dollars every year. Upwork makes money as a commission charged by buyers and sellers which is called the Upwork fee. And you can calculate that fee very quickly and easily by using this Upwork fee calculator tool. 

There is a certain fee that is deducted by Upwork on each transaction. Whenever any client starts a contract with the freelancer then Upwork cost a little bit more than the contract price from the buyer. 

 

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.
