Artist Upwork fees

[d01cd1e9]

Hey Guys, on te Upwork site it says artists pay 3.5% to 5% in fees. But some artists told me they are being charged up to 25% in Upworkd fees. What are you all paying in fees?

Where did you get those figures?

Julia:

There is no such thing as artist Upwork fees.

Artists have the same fee structure as everyone else on Upwork.

You have received inaccurate information. Ignore what you were told by others. Accurate information is available on the Upwork website. Basically: 20%, 10%, 5%

Hi Julia,

Thank you for reaching out to us. As a freelancer, you’ll pay a sliding fee based on your total lifetime billings with a client. Because we want to give you the flexibility to change contract types as you work together, we count all your contracts with a client –– whether hourly, fixed-price, or a Project Catalog project. (There are a few exceptions, see here).

Here’s how it works:

• $0-$500 in earnings from a client: 20% service fee applied to earnings
• $500.01-$10,000 in earnings from a client: 10% service fee
• $10,000.01 or more in earnings from a client: 5% service fee
