Freelance Fee Calculator

How to Use the Freelance Fee Calculator

Freelance platforms often charge a service fee as a percentage of your earnings. Set the percentage to match your platform's fee, then enter any fixed processing fee if one applies. The calculator estimates your fee, net payout, and the gross amount you would need to charge to net a target amount.

Reverse Fee Tip (How Much to Charge)

The “Ask for” number shows how much to invoice if you want to receive the amount you typed after fees are deducted. This is useful when comparing direct-client work against marketplace work or deciding whether a fixed-price contract still meets your minimum net rate.

Common Examples

• Upwork-style: set a percentage fee (example 10%)
• Fiverr-style: often higher percentage fees
• Marketplace fees: include service + processing

Before making a final pricing decision, also account for taxes, withdrawal fees, currency conversion, and whether your platform has tiered pricing or client-specific terms.
