Fiverr fee calculator
Fiverr keeps 20% of everything a seller earns — a $100 order pays you $80, and a $50 order pays you $40. There is no flat fee and no tier to climb out of it, so the only lever you have is your price: reverse mode above shows the gig price that leaves you the amount you actually want.

How the Fiverr fee works
The commission is flat and simple: 20% of the order total, including the package price and paid extras. It applies the same way to a $5 gig and a $5,000 project, which makes Fiverr unusually predictable to price — and unusually expensive at the top end compared with payment processors.
Buyers see their own service fee added on their side; that is separate from your 20%. What matters for your pricing is that every dollar of target income needs $1.25 of gig price, before your own taxes and withdrawal costs.

What Fiverr takes from $10, $100 and $1,000
| You charge | Fiverr fee | You receive | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10.00 | $2.00 | $8.00 | 20.00% |
| $100.00 | $20.00 | $80.00 | 20.00% |
| $1,000.00 | $200.00 | $800.00 | 20.00% |
Flat fees are why small payments lose the largest share: on a $10 charge the fixed part alone can outweigh the percentage. If your typical ticket is small, the effective-rate column — not the headline rate — is the number to plan around.
Frequently asked questions
How much do I earn from a $100 Fiverr order?
Fiverr keeps 20%, which is $20, so you earn $80. The same math applies to custom offers and gig extras.
What gig price gives me $100 in earnings?
Divide your target by 0.8: $100 ÷ 0.8 = $125. Price the gig at $125 and Fiverr's $25 commission leaves exactly $100. Reverse mode above does this for any target.
Does Fiverr charge buyers a fee too?
Yes, buyers pay a service fee on their side of the checkout. It does not change the 20% taken from your earnings, but it does mean the buyer pays more than your listed price.
Is the 20% taken before or after tips?
Tips are also subject to the commission — Fiverr takes its 20% from tips as well, which surprises many sellers the first time.
