Freelancer.com fee calculator
Freelancer.com takes 10% of what you earn, but never less than $5 on a fixed-price project. On small jobs that minimum hurts. Pick the project type and enter your bid.
How the Freelancer.com fee works
fixed-price: fee = max(10% × amount, $5) · hourly: fee = 10% × amount
On fixed-price work the $5 floor applies to anything up to $50, so a $30 job costs you $5 (17%), not $3. Hourly projects pay a plain 10% on every payment.
Withdrawals cost $1 to PayPal or a Payoneer card and $25 by international wire. Wise is not listed as a withdrawal method, so its fee is marked unverified here.
