Fiverr Earnings Calculator (20% Fee, Tips, Withdrawal & Buyer Fees)
Work out what you actually keep from a Fiverr order after the 20% seller service fee, tips, withdrawal and currency-conversion fees and a tax set-aside — plus what the buyer pays with Fiverr’s buyer service fee, your effective hourly rate, monthly income, and the gig price that nets a target amount. Every rate is editable.
How it works
Earnings = (order price + tip) × (1 − 20%) · net = earnings − withdrawal fee − conversion % · take-home = net × (1 − tax set-aside) · price for a take-home target = (target ÷ (1 − tax) ÷ (1 − conversion %) + withdrawal fee) ÷ (1 − 20%) − tip · buyer pays = price × (1 + buyer fee %) + small-order fee + tip
Fiverr takes a service fee — 20% — out of every order, extra and tip before paying the seller, so a $100 gig earns you $80. The buyer pays a separate service fee on top of the gig price (plus a small-order fee on cheaper orders), which does not come out of your earnings but does raise what your client sees at checkout. Once the clearance period ends, your payout method can charge a fixed withdrawal fee and, if your money is converted to another currency, a percentage. This calculator follows the money from the buyer’s total to what reaches you, and under More options adds a tax set-aside, the hours you spent (for an effective hourly rate), orders per month with the withdrawal fee paid once per withdrawal, and any monthly subscription. Switch to “Take-home → gig price” to find what to charge for the amount you need. Because the fee is a percentage of the higher price, divide by (1 − fee) rather than adding 20%. Every rate is editable, so you can match your own account if Fiverr changes them.
Worked example
A $100 order at Fiverr’s 20% service fee: the fee is $20, so you earn $80 — 80% of the order. With a $10 tip the fee is $22 and you earn $88. If you need $100 to land in your account before withdrawal, charge $100 ÷ 0.80 = $125 for the gig. A $2 withdrawal fee would reduce the $80 to $78 net, and setting aside 25% for tax leaves $58.50. With a 5.5% buyer fee the client pays $105.50 for the $100 gig plus any small-order fee.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Fiverr take from sellers?
Fiverr deducts a 20% service fee from the order total before you are paid, so you keep 80% of what the buyer is charged for the service. A $50 gig nets you $40 before any withdrawal fee. Tips and extras are charged the same 20%. Edit the percentage if Fiverr revises it.
How do I price a gig to earn a specific amount?
Divide your target earnings by (1 − the service fee). To take home $80 at a 20% fee, charge $80 ÷ 0.80 = $100. Multiplying by 1.20 instead undershoots, because the fee is taken from the higher price, not your target. Choose “Take-home → gig price” to include withdrawal fees and a tax set-aside as well.
Does the buyer’s service fee come out of my earnings?
No. Fiverr charges buyers a percentage service fee on top of the order (and a flat small-order fee on cheaper orders); it goes to Fiverr and does not reduce your 80%. It does make your gig more expensive at checkout, which is why the table shows what the buyer actually pays at each price.
What other costs reduce my Fiverr payout?
Withdrawing your balance can carry a fixed fee depending on the method — PayPal, Payoneer, bank transfer or direct deposit each differ — and currency conversion may cost a percentage if you cash out in another currency. Withdrawing less often saves the fixed fee. Enter your figures to see the true net, then a tax set-aside for what is really yours.
When can I withdraw my Fiverr earnings?
Earnings from a completed order are pending during the clearance period — typically 14 days, shorter for top-level sellers — and then become available to withdraw.
