Fiverr charges sellers a flat 20% service fee on every transaction. If your gig is priced at $100, Fiverr takes $20 and you receive $80. Buyers are also charged a service fee — typically 5.5% of the order value, with a minimum of $2.50 for orders under $45. This means a buyer paying for a $100 gig will be charged approximately $105.50 total. Understanding Fiverr fees is essential for freelancers setting gig prices and buyers comparing total costs across platforms. This calculator helps you work backwards from a desired net payout to know how high to price your gig.

How Fiverr Fee Calculator Works

Fiverr applies a flat 20% service fee to all seller earnings. Buyer service fees are 5.5% of the order value with a $2.50 minimum (applies to orders under $45). For multi-milestone projects, the fee applies to each milestone separately. The calculator applies these rates to any input price: • Seller net = Gig price × 0.80 • Seller fee = Gig price × 0.20 • Buyer total = Gig price + max(Gig price × 0.055, $2.50) • Gig price needed to receive X = X / 0.80
