How Fiverr's seller fee works
Fiverr keeps 20% of every order, including tips. If a buyer pays $100 for your gig, you earn $80. Fiverr takes the fee automatically, so the earnings you see in your account are already after the fee.
Buyers pay their own separate service fee on top of your price. That fee doesn't come out of your earnings, so it isn't part of this calculator.
Fiverr fee examples
| Gig price | Fiverr keeps (20%) | You earn |
|---|---|---|
| $5 | $1 | $4 |
| $25 | $5 | $20 |
| $50 | $10 | $40 |
| $100 | $20 | $80 |
| $500 | $100 | $400 |
To earn a specific amount, divide it by 0.8. For example, to earn $40 from an order, price the gig at $50.
When you can withdraw your money
After an order is complete, your earnings go through a clearance period: 14 days for most sellers, and 7 days for Top Rated sellers. After that, you withdraw with one of the payout methods available in your country, such as Payoneer. Each method can charge its own fee, which Fiverr shows before you confirm.

Frequently asked questions

No. The 20% fee applies at every seller level. Higher levels bring other benefits, such as a shorter clearance period for Top Rated sellers.
Why is my withdrawal smaller than my earnings?
Payout methods can charge a withdrawal fee, and converting to your local currency costs a little more. Add both to the calculator to see the final amount.
