How much does Fiverr take from sellers?
Fiverr keeps 20% of every order — including gig extras and tips — so you receive 80%. A $100 order earns you $80. The buyer pays separately: a 5.5% service fee on the order plus a small-order fee on cheaper orders.
| Fiverr fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| Seller fee | 20% of the order, extras and tips |
| Buyer service fee | 5.5% of the order |
| Buyer small-order fee | $3.50 on orders under $200 (older pages say $3 under $100) |
| Withdraw to PayPal | $0 from Fiverr |
| Bank transfer via Payoneer | $1 |
| Payoneer account | $3 |
| Clearance period | 14 days after completion (7 days for Top Rated & Pro) |
Fees checked October 2026 from Fiverr’s payment terms and seller guides. Fiverr shows exact amounts in your account.
Example: a $100 gig
The buyer pays $100 + $5.50 service fee + $3.50 small-order fee = $109. Fiverr keeps $20 of your $100, so $80 goes to your balance. Withdrawn to PayPal it arrives as $80 before any PayPal currency conversion. If the order is completed today, the money becomes available in 14 days (7 for Top Rated sellers).
How to price a Fiverr gig
To receive a set amount, divide by 0.8: to get $100 you need a $125 gig. Use “I want to receive exactly…” and the calculator also adds withdrawal and conversion fees. Offer three packages — buyers often pick the middle one — and consider a Premium package of $200 or more, where buyers skip the small-order fee.
Tips to earn more on Fiverr
- Sell extras like fast delivery and source files — they raise the order value.
- Withdraw less often in bigger amounts to cut per-withdrawal fees.
- Reach Top Rated for faster 7-day clearance.
- Compare with direct clients — repeat buyers you meet outside the platform rules may cost far less in fees; follow Fiverr’s terms on platform communication.
What Fiverr takes
Fiverr keeps 20% of every order you complete — the gig price, gig extras and tips. On a $100 gig you earn $80. Buyers pay a separate service fee on top, which doesn’t come out of your earnings.
Example
| Gig price | $100 |
| Gig extras | $20 |
| Tip | $10 |
| Fiverr fee (20% of $130) | −$26 |
| You earn | $104 |
Then subtract the withdrawal fee for your method and the currency conversion margin if dollars are changed into your local currency.
“I want to receive exactly…”
Work backwards: to receive $80, your gig must be priced at $100; to receive $50, at $62.50. The formula is price = what you want ÷ 0.8.
When can you withdraw?
Fiverr holds earnings for a clearance period after an order is completed before you can withdraw them — usually 14 days, shorter for some top sellers. Enter the completion date to see when the money becomes available.
