How much Fiverr takes from common gig prices
Fiverr's cut is always 20%. What changes is how much extra your buyer pays, because the $3.50 fee weighs heavily on small orders.
| Gig price | Fiverr keeps | You receive | Buyer pays | Buyer fees add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $5 | $1.00 | $4.00 | $8.78 | +76% |
| $10 | $2.00 | $8.00 | $14.05 | +41% |
| $25 | $5.00 | $20.00 | $29.88 | +20% |
| $50 | $10.00 | $40.00 | $56.25 | +13% |
| $100 | $20.00 | $80.00 | $109.00 | +9% |
| $200 | $40.00 | $160.00 | $211.00 | +5.5% |
| $500 | $100.00 | $400.00 | $527.50 | +5.5% |
| $1,000 | $200.00 | $800.00 | $1,055.00 | +5.5% |
"You receive" is before withdrawal and conversion costs. A $5 gig costs the buyer $8.78, which is one reason small gigs sell better as part of a bigger package.
How Fiverr fees work in 2026
Sellers pay one percentage plus a few flat or conversion costs. Buyers pay their own separate fee.
- Seller fee: a flat 20%. Fiverr's Help Center says freelancers receive 80% of the client's cleared payment. It applies to every order at every seller level, including gig extras and tips. A $50 order leaves you $40, and a $20 tip leaves you $16.
- Buyer fee: 5.5% plus $3.50 under $200. Buyers pay 5.5% on top of the order price, plus $3.50 when the order is under $200. You don't pay this, but it raises your price from the buyer's point of view.
- Withdrawal fees: $0–3. PayPal is free from Fiverr's side. A Payoneer Account costs $3, and a bank transfer via Payoneer costs $3 in local currency or $1 as a USD wire.
- Currency conversion: Payoneer and PayPal charge an exchange markup when you convert dollars to your own currency, usually around 2% to a bank with Payoneer, 3% plus $1 from Payoneer to bKash, and 3–4% with PayPal.
Fiverr withdrawal methods compared
| Method | Fiverr's fee | Minimum | Arrives in | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PayPal | $0 | $1 | 24 hours | Not available in Bangladesh or Pakistan. 3–4% conversion markup |
| Payoneer Account | $3 | $10 | Up to 2 business days | Payoneer's own fee when you move the money on |
| Bank transfer via Payoneer (local currency) | $3 | $20 | 1–3 business days | Conversion markup in the rate |
| Bank transfer via Payoneer (USD wire) | $1 | $20 | 5–7 business days | Your bank's charges for receiving a wire |
| Fiverr Revenue Card | $1–3 | $30 | Up to 2 business days | Discontinued in Dec 2022, existing cardholders only |
These are the fees on Fiverr's Help Center pages. Availability depends on your country, and Fiverr shows the exact fee when you withdraw. If yours is different, choose "Other amount" above. You can link only one Payoneer method to your account at a time, and you must wait 24 hours after adding or changing one before you can withdraw.
Fiverr fees in Bangladesh, Pakistan, India and the Philippines
Fiverr's 20% is the same everywhere. What differs is how the money gets home.
- Bangladesh: PayPal isn't available, so Payoneer is the usual route. A $100 order becomes $80, a $3 withdrawal to your Payoneer Account leaves $77, and sending that to bKash costs $1 plus 3%, so about $73.72 worth of taka arrives. The Payoneer to bKash calculator shows the exact taka at today's rate. IT freelance income received through banking channels is tax-exempt until 30 June 2027. The Bangladesh freelancer tax checker has the details.
- Pakistan: PayPal isn't available either. Withdraw through Payoneer to your bank. Bringing the money in through a bank also matters for the low export tax rate; see the Pakistan freelancer tax calculator.
- India and the Philippines: PayPal works and Fiverr charges nothing to withdraw to it, but PayPal's conversion markup is usually higher than Payoneer's. The Payoneer vs Wise vs PayPal comparison shows which leaves you more.
Fiverr vs Upwork fees
| Fiverr | Upwork | |
|---|---|---|
| Seller / freelancer fee | Flat 20% | Variable 0–15%, often about 10% |
| You keep from $100 | $80 | about $90 |
| Cost to find work | Free to list gigs. Ads optional | Connects to apply, $0.15 each |
To keep the same amount, a Fiverr price needs to be about 12% higher than an Upwork rate. The Upwork fee calculator shows Upwork's side, and the hourly rate calculator works out the rate you need on each platform.
How to keep more of your Fiverr earnings
- Withdraw less often. Withdrawal fees are per withdrawal, so one $500 withdrawal costs $3 while five $100 withdrawals cost $15.
- Sell packages, not tiny gigs. The buyer's $3.50 fee on orders under $200 makes a $5 gig cost $8.78. A $50 package costs the buyer $56.25, and a $200 package has no extra fee at all.
- Price with the fee in mind. Use "What to charge" above to find the price that leaves you the amount you want.
- Reach Top Rated or join Seller Plus if the faster 7-day clearing helps your cash flow. Only pay for Seller Plus if it brings enough extra orders to cover it.
- Never take payment outside Fiverr. It's against Fiverr's rules and can get your account permanently disabled, taking your earnings with it.
When can I withdraw my Fiverr earnings?
Money from a completed order is held for a clearing period before you can withdraw it: usually 14 days, or 7 days for Pro, Top Rated and Seller Plus freelancers. The calculator shows the date for an order completed today. Fiverr also offers Early Payout to eligible freelancers for a fee.
