How does Upwork fees work?

[schrodingers_cat]

Upwork charges me a 20% fee on every new client or after hitting 1K/10K milestone this fee is reduced for all clients?

Hi Nikita,

Freelancers are charged a sliding fee based on their lifetime billings with each client (across all contracts they've ever had with that client's company). Service fees are the same whether the contracts are hourly or fixed-price. To learn more about our freelancer's fees check out this help article.

Thank you!
