FAQ
What fee should I enter?
Upwork sets a variable Freelancer Service Fee per contract (commonly cited range 0%–15%), locked when the contract starts. Default here is 10% as a planning estimate — use the % shown on your contract.
Is the old 20/10/5 tier still used?
That sliding scale was retired for new contracts. Prefer the fee shown on your proposal/contract.
Is this an official Upwork calculator?
No. Independent estimate only; not affiliated with Upwork.
Does this include payment processing fees?
No. Only the Freelancer Service Fee percent is modeled — not withdrawal or FX costs.
