The base price of the gig or package the buyer purchased, before any extras or tips.
Optional. The value of any gig extras or add-ons the buyer purchased alongside the base gig — Fiverr's 20% commission applies to this too, folded into the same order total. Leave blank if there were none.
Optional. This surprises many sellers: Fiverr's 20% commission applies to tips exactly the same as the gig price — a $10 tip only nets you $8, not the full $10. Leave blank if there was no tip.
Fiverr's withdrawal fees vary by method, region, and reporting source — these are commonly reported approximate defaults, not a fixed platform-wide number. Enter your own real fee if you know it. Payoneer's figure is Fiverr's own fee only; Payoneer adds its own separate provider fees and FX margin on top, not included here.

How the Fiverr Fee & Payout Calculator works
Enter the gig or order price for this order, plus any extras/add-ons and tip the buyer added — Fiverr's flat 20% commission applies to all three added together, not just the base gig price. Pick your withdrawal method, since Fiverr's withdrawal fee varies depending on how you cash out. The calculator adds the commission and withdrawal fee together and shows your net take-home and what share of the order you actually kept.
Because the commission rate never varies by seller level or volume, the math here stays the same whether it's your first order or your thousandth — only the withdrawal method changes the outcome.
Who this is for
For Fiverr sellers who've completed an order, gotten paid, and found the number in their account doesn't quite match what they expected. 20% sounds simple enough — but it applies to extras and tips too, and that's the part many sellers don't realize until it happens to them: a $10 tip only nets $8, not the full $10 many sellers assume they're keeping. Add a withdrawal fee on top, and the gap between the order total and what actually lands in the bank can be a real surprise the first few times. This calculator adds the commission and withdrawal fee together against a real order, so the number you see is what actually shows up in your account.
Worked example
A buyer purchases an $80 gig, adds $20 in extras, and leaves a $10 tip — an order total of $110. Fiverr's flat 20% commission applies to all of it: $22.00. You withdraw via PayPal, a roughly $1.00 fee. Total fees: $22.00 + $1.00 = $23.00. Net take-home: $110.00 − $23.00 = $87.00 — a net margin of about 79.1%, not the 80% a flat-commission-only assumption would suggest. Look specifically at the tip in that order: $10 tipped, 20% commission taken, $8.00 actually kept — exactly the kind of gap sellers don't expect the first time they see it, since a tip feels like it should be a pure bonus rather than commission-bearing income.
How Fiverr's fee stack actually works
Fiverr's fee structure is unusually simple compared to most freelance platforms — but 'simple' still has a few details that catch sellers off guard.
- Seller commission — a flat 20% on the entire order: gig price, extras/add-ons, and tips, all treated as one purchase amount. There's no tier that reduces this as you sell more or reach Top Rated/Pro status — every seller pays the same 20%, on every order, indefinitely. The one documented exception is Fiverr's Logo Maker tool, which since March 2025 uses a separate tiered system (roughly 20-50%, rolling 12-month basis) instead of the standard flat rate.
- Withdrawal fees — the part that varies most by source and region. PayPal and Direct Deposit (ACH) commonly run around $1.00; bank transfer and Payoneer commonly run around $3.00 (Payoneer's own separate provider fees and FX margin aren't included in that figure). These numbers aren't as tightly standardized across sources as the 20% commission, so treat them as a reasonable starting default and check your own account for the exact fee that applies.
- Clearing period — not a fee, but real cash-flow context: funds from a completed order aren't available to withdraw immediately. New sellers wait 14 days; sellers who've reached Level 1 (roughly 10 completed orders, 60+ days active, 4.7+ rating) wait 7 days instead. A balance showing in your Fiverr account isn't the same as money you can move today.
- Buyer-side fees — worth knowing exists, even though it doesn't touch a seller's math directly. Buyers pay a separate service fee (commonly cited around 5.5%) plus a small-order fee on lower-value purchases, on top of the listed gig price. This is why a buyer's checkout total is higher than what a seller sees as the 'order amount' — it explains a gap buyers sometimes ask sellers about, without changing anything in this calculator's seller-side numbers.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Fiverr take from sellers?
A flat 20% commission on every order — no tiers, no volume discount, and no reduction regardless of seller level, from a brand-new seller through Top Rated or Pro. Whether the order is $5 or $5,000, Fiverr keeps one-fifth of it. This is the single most consistently reported figure across Fiverr's own Help Center and independent seller-fee guides — unlike some platforms, there's no ambiguity here.
Does Fiverr take a cut of tips?
Yes, and it's one of the most commonly missed costs on the platform. Fiverr's 20% commission applies to tips exactly the same way it applies to the gig price and extras — a $10 tip only nets a seller $8.00, not the full $10. It's easy to assume a tip is a pure bonus on top of the order, but Fiverr treats it as part of the same purchase amount for commission purposes.
How long until I can withdraw Fiverr earnings?
There's a clearing period before order funds become available to withdraw — 14 days after order completion for new sellers, dropping to 7 days once a seller reaches Level 1 (roughly 10 completed orders, 60+ days active, and a 4.7+ rating). This isn't a fee, but it's a real cash-flow consideration: a payout showing in your Fiverr balance isn't the same as money you can withdraw today.
Are there volume discounts on Fiverr's commission?
No — unlike some competitors, Fiverr's 20% commission doesn't step down as you sell more or reach a higher seller tier (New Seller, Level 1, Level 2, Top Rated, or Pro). Seller level affects things like the clearing period, visibility, and access to certain features, but not the commission rate itself. A Top Rated seller and a brand-new seller pay the exact same 20% on an identical order.
Does the Logo Maker tool use the same 20% commission?
No — sellers using Fiverr's Logo Maker tool are on a separate, tiered fee system (reported at roughly 20-50%, calculated on a rolling 12-month basis) rather than the flat 20% every other gig category uses, a change that took effect in March 2025. This calculator models the standard flat-20% commission that applies to the overwhelming majority of gigs; if you sell specifically through Logo Maker, check Fiverr's current Logo Maker seller terms directly rather than relying on this number.
How is this different from the Fiverr option on the Freelance Hourly Rate calculator?
The Freelance Hourly Rate calculator works backward — it starts from your target annual income and grosses up your hourly rate to cover Fiverr's flat 20% cut so you still hit that goal. This calculator works forward from a specific order you've already completed: enter the gig price, any extras and tip, and your withdrawal method, and see exactly what lands in your account. Use the rate calculator to set your pricing target, and this one to check a real order against it.
