The 12-month earnings on Upwork are calculated based on the freelancer's earnings over the previous 12 months, starting from the current date. This means that the earnings are not calculated from the moment of registration on the platform or from the first order, but rather from the past 12 months of completed projects and payments.

For example, if today is March 1, 2023, the 12-month earnings would be calculated based on the freelancer's earnings from March 1, 2022, to February 28, 2023.

It's worth noting that the 12-month earnings are one of the factors that Upwork uses to determine a freelancer's "Job Success Score," which is a measure of the freelancer's success on the platform. The Job Success Score takes into account factors such as client satisfaction, project success, and responsiveness, in addition to the 12-month earnings.
