Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Fiverr take from sellers?▼
Fiverr charges sellers a flat 20% service fee on every order. This applies to all gig prices, packages, and order extras — there is no sliding scale or volume discount. On a $100 gig, Fiverr takes $20 and the seller receives $80.
What service fee do buyers pay on Fiverr?▼
Buyers pay a service fee of 5.5% of the order value, with a minimum of $2.50. For a $50 gig, the buyer pays $50 + $2.75 = $52.75. For a $10 gig, the minimum applies: $10 + $2.50 = $12.50.
