Hi Usama,

You're refering to the Top Rated Plus badge, correct? If yes, Top Rated Plus freelancers can earn Top Rated status on Upwork when they met the following criteria:

• Earned more than $10,000 in total earnings (all contracts included) the past 12 months

• Worked on one of more large* projects in the past 12 months without negative feedback

• Are not an exclusive agency contractor

• Maintained Top Rated status

To learn more about this, check out this Help Article. Thank you.

You need to have made over a certain amount on at least one individual contract. 

How much depends on the category you are in and I think for your category it will be 15k.

You'll find the table here: https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050417233-Top-Rated-Plus

Hi! If I have a long-term hourly contract and it accumulates to $5,000 earnings (for creative & design), does that make me eligible for Top Rated Plus under the “Worked on one of more large* projects in the past 12 months without negative feedback” category?

Unfortunately, not. It should be one contract that has at least 5K in earnings (for your category).

Hello Team,

I have earned more than 5k+ in one of my active contracts. I want to clarify how can I qualify for a top-rated plus badge? I'm confused about the amount depending on the category listing. I'm not sure about my category. Do I have to make 10k+ on one of my large contracts or am I already qualified by earning more than 5k? I am referring to my contract "Looking for a graphic designer who specializes in social media".

Please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi Pooja,

You earn the badge once you meet the criteria listed here. The criteria for a “large contract” is specific to the contract category. We base these amounts on the opportunities currently available on Upwork. For example, in certain categories, a large contract might be one with earnings of $5,000 but in others it might be a $20,000 or $30,000 contract. Here's the help article for more information.
