[007awais]

Hi there, I have a question please kindly answer i m working for an client and my total life time payment for that client is 350 $ and if i got another contract for the same client of 200 $ means its will increase the total life time billing to 550 $ so for this new 200$ job which i got after 350$ lifetime billing with that client what will the upwork fee will its be 20% or its will be 10 % because i m going to cross the 500$ lifetime billing with that client with this new 200$ contract. Kindly please understand my question well and than proper answer please. Hope so you will understand the question. Waiting for your response. Thanks

You will pay 20% on the first 500$ and 10% on the rest up to 10.000$ (after 10k the upwork fee is 5%)

Because you need additional 150$ to earn 500$, your 200$ contract will be "splited". So first 150$ will be charged 20% and another 50$ will be charged 10%.

So from your 200$ contract, you will pay 35$ + tax to the Upwork

Hi Muhammad, 

Valerio, and Ambrož are both correct. To confirm, all contracts that cross a fee threshold will be charged at a blended rate. For example, if you begin an hourly or fixed-price contract with a new client for $600, you’ll be billed 20% on the first $500 and 10% on the remaining $100. The same is true of a $15,000 contract – you’ll be billed 20% on the first $500, 10% on the next $9,500, and 5% on the last $5,000.
