FAQ

Upwork uses a tiered fee structure based on lifetime billings with each client: 20% for the first $500, 10% for $500.01-$10,000, and 5% for amounts over $10,000.

The fee tiers are calculated per client relationship, not per project. Your lifetime billings with each individual client determine which tier applies.

Additional fees may include payment processing fees for certain withdrawal methods and Connects for bidding on projects. Upwork Plus subscriptions can provide additional benefits.
