What Fees Does Fiverr Charge?

It’s important to know how much Fiverr takes as fees since it affects what you actually take home.

• Commission: Fiverr charges a flat 20% fee on every order you complete. So if you earn $100, Fiverr keeps $20, and you get $80. This covers keeping the platform running and secure. For any order above $500, Fiverr charges additional 5% fees.

• No upfront fees for seller: Buyers pay an upfront fee of 5.5% of total order plus an additional $3 as small order fees under $100. But as a seller, you only pay fees after completing the order.

• Subscriptions: If you want extra benefits like better profile visibility or courses, Fiverr offers subscriptions starting at about $9.95/month. These don’t change the 20% commission but can help boost your freelance business.

Payment Methods You Can Use on Fiverr

Fiverr gives you different ways to withdraw your money depending on where you live and what suits you best. Following are few of the options provided by Fiverr for withdrawing payments:

PayPal

One of the most commonly used withdrawal options on Fiverr, available in most countries around the world. It’s known for being quick and easy to set up.

• How it works: Link your PayPal account to Fiverr, and once your earnings are ready, you can transfer the money directly to your PayPal balance.

• Withdrawal Time: Funds usually arrive in your PayPal account within 1–2 business days, making it one of the faster options.

• Fees: PayPal charges a withdrawal fee (around $1) and also takes a cut on currency conversion — often with a 2%–4% markup, depending on your country.

• Availability: Available worldwide, although local restrictions may apply to the use or withdrawal of your PayPal balance.

Best for: Freelancers who want fast access to their earnings and already use PayPal for other transactions.

Bank Transfer (Direct Deposit / ACH)

A withdrawal method where Fiverr sends your earnings directly to your local bank account. This option is mainly available to users in the US and a few other countries

• How it works: Once your payment is ready, Fiverr transfers the amount straight to your bank using ACH (Automated Clearing House) or local transfer systems.

• Withdrawal Time: It typically takes around 5–7 business days for the payments to show up in your account, so it's a bit slower compared to other options.

• Fees: There may be 5%-7% ees involved, depending on your bank’s policies. Fiverr itself doesn’t charge much for this method.

• Availability: Only available in certain countries — mostly the US, so if you’re outside that list (like in India), this option won’t show up in your withdrawal settings.

Best for: Freelancers in the US who want a direct, no-frills way to receive payments from Fiverr.

Payoneer

It is a popular method for receiving and withdrawing money from clients worldwide, and it works seamlessly with Fiverr.

• Connect Payoneer to Fiverr: Just link your Payoneer account to Fiverr, and your earnings can be transferred there directly. It’s simple and widely used by freelancers here.

• Withdraw to your bank via Payoneer: Once your money reaches Payoneer, you can transfer it to your Indian bank account. The fees are usually lower, and the exchange rates are better than what you’d get with PayPal or most banks.

• Fiverr Revenue Card: This is a Payoneer Mastercard that lets you withdraw money from ATMs and use it like a prepaid card. But just a heads-up — it’s not available in India, so this option won’t work for you if you're based here.

For Indian freelancers, the Payoneer-to-bank route is typically the most cost-effective and straightforward way to receive payments from Fiverr.

How to Withdraw Your Earnings from Fiverr

Once your payment method is set up, withdrawing your earnings from Fiverr is pretty straightforward. Here’s how it works:

1. Log into your Fiverr account:

7. Enter the amount to withdraw

8. Fiverr may have a minimum withdrawal limit, depending on the method. Enter how much you’d like to withdraw (or withdraw your full balance).

9. Confirm the withdrawal

10. Fiverr may ask you to confirm the action via email or a pop-up. Once you do, your withdrawal request is processed.

Depending on the method you choose, your money can arrive within 1 to 7 business days. PayPal and Payoneer are usually faster (1–2 days), while direct bank transfers might take a bit longer.

Why InfinityApp Is a Smart Choice for Getting Paid

InfinityApp offers a more affordable and efficient way to receive your Fiverr earnings. Once you link your account to it, you can relax as your earnings will directly be transferred after an order is completed. On top of this, Infinity charges lowest transaction fees than any other payment method available, making it a smart choice for freelancers to get paid.

Besides this, Infinity helps you keep more of what you earn by cutting on the hidden costs that often come with getting paid through Fiverr.

Fiverr’s hidden costs include:

1. Currency Conversion: Fiverr doesn’t handle currency conversion directly, but services like PayPal and Payoneer apply a 2%–4% markup on exchange rates. That means you lose money every time your USD earnings are converted to INR or any other currency.

2. Third-party Fees: If you withdraw through PayPal, Payoneer, or bank transfer, there are additional platform fees and conversion charges involved.

3. NO FIRA by Default: Fiverr doesn’t  provide FIRA (Foreign Inward Remittance Advice) automatically; freelancers have to ask for it or even pay for it to be issued, as it is an important document for tax filing.
