How it works
Fiverr credits sellers with 80% of the purchase amount on each completed order, which means a 20% commission. On hourly contracts the same 80% applies to the hours on each completed weekly report.
The buyer side is shown for reference. Fiverr adds a 5.5% service fee and, on orders under $200, a $3.50 small order fee. These go to Fiverr and do not lower your earnings.
Things to keep in mind
Earnings are held for a clearing period before you can withdraw them, and withdrawal methods may charge their own fees.
Fiverr earnings count as self-employment income in the US, so plan for income tax and self-employment tax.
