Costs

[fc22a485]

Hi- I am very new to UpWork, and i've signed up as a Client looking for freelancers. I negotiated with a freelancer to complete a trial run for $70 CAD; however, when I entered the fixed-price amount, it showed up as $97.10. Does that mean the freelancer will be getting the $97.10 instead of the $70? This may be a silly question but any advice/guidance would be immensely appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

Hi there, 

It looks like you funded 70USD for the first milestone of your contract. When you are ready to release the milestone payment, you will be presented with the option of editing the payment amount of the milestone. You can read more here about this.

All rates, budgets, payments, etc. are displayed in US Dollars on the Upwork site. That said, if you add a credit card as a billing method, you can set it to be charged in your local currency.
