How much does Fiverr take from sellers?
Fiverr takes 20% of every order, including extras and tips, so a $100 gig pays you $80. Your buyer pays on top: a 5.5% service fee plus $3.50 on purchases under $200, so that gig costs them $109.00. Earnings clear 14 days after completion, or 7 for Top Rated Sellers. To keep $100, price the gig at $125.
What your buyer pays at checkout
Fiverr adds its service fee on the buyer’s side, so your gig costs them more than your price.
| Payment | Your price | Service fee | Buyer pays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Order | $100.00 | $9.00 5.5% + $3.50 | $109.00 |

Rates checked
Fees checked on 1 October 2026 against Fiverr’s Payment Terms (last updated September 2026) and the Fiverr Help Center article on tipping. Withdrawal fees are those Fiverr lists for each provider; PayPal and Payoneer may add their own. Upwork figures come from Upwork’s pricing and Help Center pages. Taxes Fiverr may add for buyers in some countries aren’t included.
How Fiverr fees work in 2026
Fiverr charges both sides of every order: the seller pays a commission on what they earn, and the buyer pays a service fee on top of the price.
Fiverr seller fee: 20%
Every completed order credits you with 80% of the purchase amount. Fiverr keeps the other 20%, and the same rate applies to gig extras and tips.
Fiverr buyer service fee: 5.5% plus $3.50 under $200
Buyers pay a 5.5% service fee on each purchase, plus a $3.50 small order fee on purchases under $200. Fiverr adds the fee at the time of each purchase, so extras bought later and tips each get their own fee.
Fees on Fiverr tips
Tips start at $5. Fiverr keeps 20% of the tip, and the buyer pays the service fee on it as a separate transaction.
Fiverr withdrawal fees
| Withdrawal method | Fiverr fee |
|---|---|
| PayPal | Free on Fiverr’s side |
| Local bank transfer (via Payoneer) | $3 per transfer |
| Direct deposit, US only (via Payoneer) | $1 per transfer |
| Fiverr Revenue Card (by Payoneer) | $1 within 2 days, or $3 within 2 hours |
PayPal and Payoneer may charge their own fees depending on your country and currency.
When you can withdraw
Earnings clear 14 days after an order is marked complete, or 7 days for Top Rated Sellers.
Example: Fiverr fees on a $150 gig with a $20 tip
A seller completes a $150 logo gig and the buyer adds a $20 tip. Fiverr keeps 20% of each, $30.00 of the gig and $4.00 of the tip, so $136.00 is credited to the seller. Withdrawing it by local bank transfer through Payoneer costs $3, which leaves $133.00.
The buyer pays $161.75 for the gig ($150 plus the 5.5% service fee and the $3.50 small order fee) and $24.60 for the tip, which is charged as its own purchase. Across both payments Fiverr collects $50.35 of the $186.35 the buyer pays.
The $200 threshold
Because the $3.50 small order fee stops at $200, a $199 gig costs your buyer $213.45 while a $200 gig costs them $211.00. If your price is close to $200, raising it to exactly $200 earns you more and saves your buyer money.
Fiverr vs Upwork fees
| Fiverr | Upwork | |
|---|---|---|
| Seller or freelancer fee | 20% of every order, extra and tip | 0% to 15%, set per contract |
| You keep from $1,000 | $800 | $850 to $1,000 |
| Buyer or client fee | 5.5%, plus $3.50 under $200 | 5% (Basic plan), plus $0.99 to $14.99 per contract |
| Cost to win work | Buyers order your gig; ads are optional | Connects, $0.15 each |
| When you can withdraw | 14 days after completion, 7 for Top Rated | About 10 days after the week (hourly), up to 19 days (fixed price) |
Fees are only part of the choice. On Fiverr, buyers find and order a gig you’ve listed; on Upwork, you usually send proposals for jobs clients post. Which works better depends on your service and how you like to find clients, not just the fee.

How this calculator works
You receive = (gig price + extras + tip) × 80% − withdrawal fees − conversion − Promoted Gigs spend
Buyer pays = each purchase + 5.5% of it + $3.50 if that purchase is under $200
Price to charge = (what you want to receive + withdrawal fees) ÷ 0.8, adjusted for conversion
How to keep more of your Fiverr earnings
- Price from what you want to receive. Divide your target by 0.8: $100 in your pocket means a $125 gig.
- Mind the $200 line. Gigs just under $200 cost buyers more than a $200 gig.
- Sell extras at checkout. Extras added to the first purchase share one service fee; extras bought later get their own.
- Withdraw in batches. Flat withdrawal fees cost less per order when you move several at once.
- Pick the slower card option. The Revenue Card costs $1 within 2 days and $3 within 2 hours.
Fiverr fee questions
How much does Fiverr take from sellers?
Fiverr keeps 20% of every order, so you earn 80% of the purchase amount. The same 20% applies to gig extras and tips. On a $100 gig, Fiverr keeps $20 and you receive $80, before any withdrawal or currency conversion costs.
What fee does the buyer pay on Fiverr?
Buyers pay a service fee of 5.5% of each purchase, plus a $3.50 small order fee on purchases under $200. A $100 gig costs the buyer $109.00.
Why does a $199 gig cost the buyer more than a $200 gig?
Because of the small order fee. A $199 gig costs the buyer $213.45 (5.5% plus $3.50), while a $200 gig costs $211.00 with no small order fee. Pricing at $200 earns you more and costs your buyer less.
Does Fiverr take a cut of tips?
Yes. Fiverr keeps 20% of a tip, so a $20 tip adds $16 to your earnings. Tips are separate transactions, so the buyer pays Fiverr’s service fee on them too. The smallest tip a buyer can give is $5.
How much does it cost to withdraw from Fiverr?
Withdrawing to PayPal is free on Fiverr’s side. A local bank transfer through Payoneer costs $3, a US direct deposit costs $1, and the Fiverr Revenue Card costs $1 within 2 days or $3 within 2 hours. PayPal or Payoneer may add their own fees, especially for currency conversion.
When can I withdraw my Fiverr earnings?
Earnings become available 14 days after the order is marked complete. Top Rated Sellers wait 7 days.
How do I work out what to charge on Fiverr?
Divide what you want to earn by 0.8. To receive $100, price the gig at $125, then add your withdrawal fee if you want it covered. Switch the calculator to “What to charge” to include extras, tips, withdrawal and conversion costs.
What are the fees on Fiverr hourly contracts?
On hourly contracts, sellers earn 80% of the hourly rate for the hours in each completed weekly report. Buyers pay a 5.5% service fee on the hourly rate and a $5 order initiation fee when the contract starts.
Which takes less, Fiverr or Upwork?
Fiverr charges sellers a flat 20%. Upwork charges freelancers 0% to 15% per contract, but you pay for Connects to send proposals. On a $1,000 job you keep $800 on Fiverr and $850 to $1,000 on Upwork, before other costs. Fees are only part of the choice, though: on Fiverr buyers order a gig you’ve listed, while on Upwork you usually send proposals, so the platform with the lower fee isn’t automatically the better one for your work.
