How much does Fiverr take from sellers?
Fiverr charges sellers a flat 20% service fee on every order. It applies to the base gig price, gig extras and tips. It doesn't matter how many orders you have completed or what level you are: a new seller and a Top Rated seller pay the same 20%.
After an order clears, you may also pay a small withdrawal fee depending on how you move the money out, plus any currency conversion charged by your payment provider or bank.
The formula
You keep = (Gig price + extras + tip) × 0.80 − withdrawal fee
Price to charge = (Amount you want + withdrawal fee) ÷ 0.80
Pricing your gigs with the fee in mind
Because the fee is a fixed share of every order, the simplest way to protect your income is to build it into your price. If you want $40 for a piece of work, list it at $50. Use the "What I should charge" mode above to find the exact number.
- Use extras. Faster delivery, extra revisions and source files raise the order value for very little extra work.
- Offer packages. Basic, Standard and Premium tiers nudge buyers towards larger orders.
- Batch withdrawals. Flat withdrawal fees cost less when you withdraw less often.
- Compare platforms. See how Fiverr compares with our Upwork fee calculator.
Don't forget tax
Fiverr income is self-employment income. In the US, estimate your payments with the quarterly estimated tax calculator. In the UK, use the self-employed tax calculator.
