Platforms differ: Upwork/Fiverr are marketplaces (you'd only use them if the client is there); PayPal/Stripe/Wise/Payoneer are ways to get paid directly. Fixed fees are in the selected currency's nominal amount (PayPal uses its published EUR/GBP fixed fee; others assume the USD figure — edit below).

PlatformPlatform %Payment %Payment fixedWithdraw fixedFX %Notes & sources

Formulas (per platform): platform fee = gross × platform% payment fee = gross × payment% + payment fixed (min applied where noted) after fees = gross − platform fee − payment fee withdraw fee = withdraw fixed FX loss = (after fees − withdraw fee) × FX% (only if "convert" = yes) pre-tax = after fees − withdraw fee − FX loss tax reserve = pre-tax × tax% net take-home = pre-tax − tax reserve % lost = (gross − net) ÷ gross

How we calculate

For each platform: platform fee = gross × platform %; payment fee = gross × payment % + fixed fee (with a minimum where the provider sets one); withdrawal fee = fixed amount; FX loss = (gross − platform fee − payment fee − withdrawal fee) × FX % (only if you convert); tax reserve = pre-tax amount × tax %; net take-home = pre-tax − tax reserve; % lost = (gross − net) ÷ gross.

Defaults come from the official fee pages linked in the assumptions panel (Upwork Help, Fiverr Help, PayPal merchant fees, Stripe pricing, Wise pricing, Payoneer pricing). Values with no single official figure are marked verify and are editable placeholders. Last updated: 2026-10.

FAQ

How much does Upwork take from freelancers?

Upwork's Freelancer Service Fee is variable from 0% to 15% per contract and is shown on each offer or proposal. The calculator uses 10% as an editable placeholder (marked verify). Withdrawing via Direct to Local Bank costs $0.99.

How much does Fiverr take from sellers?

Fiverr keeps 20% of each order. Withdrawal fees per Fiverr Help: PayPal $0, Bank Transfer via Payoneer $1, Payoneer account $3. The calculator defaults to the $1 bank transfer; the currency conversion cost is set by the payout provider, so its 2% default is marked verify.

What are PayPal's fees for an international invoice?

For a US PayPal business account, an invoice paid via PayPal Checkout costs 3.49% plus a fixed fee ($0.49, or €0.39 / £0.39), plus a 1.50% international fee. Standard bank withdrawal is free; PayPal's currency conversion spread is 3.00% (PayPal merchant fees page, updated October 1, 2026).

What does Stripe charge for international cards?

For a US Stripe account: 2.9% + 30¢ per card payment, plus 1.5% for international cards, plus 1% if currency conversion is required. Standard payouts are free.

Is Wise cheaper than PayPal for receiving USD?

Usually on fees: Wise charges nothing to receive USD by ACH ($6.11 for a USD wire or Swift payment), while PayPal charges a percentage plus a fixed fee. Wise's conversion fee varies by currency pair (published range 0.22%–4.42%), so the calculator's 0.6% default is a placeholder marked verify — check Wise's own calculator for your currency.

What are Payoneer's fees for getting paid directly by clients?

Receiving into a non-local-currency receiving account costs 1% (minimum $1); card payments cost up to 3.99% + $0.49. Withdrawing with currency conversion costs 1.2%–4%, so the calculator's 2% default is marked verify. A $29.95/year fee may apply if you receive under $6,000 in 12 months (not included in the math).

Which fees does the calculator leave out?

Upwork's $2.99 Direct-to-US-Bank fee for non-US tax addresses (since 2026-09-01), Payoneer's $29.95 yearly account fee, Fiverr buyer fees, Upwork Connects and bank-side correspondent fees are not included.
