How Fiverr fees work in 2026
Sellers pay one percentage and a few flat or conversion costs. Buyers pay their own separate fee.
- Seller fee: a flat 20%. It applies to every order at every seller level, including gig extras and tips. A $50 order leaves you $40, and a $20 tip leaves you $16. Fiverr used to charge less on repeat buyers but dropped that in late 2022.
- Buyer fee: 5.5% plus $2.50 on small orders. Buyers pay 5.5% on top of the order price, plus a $2.50 small-order fee when the order is under $50. You don't pay this, but it raises your price from the buyer's point of view.
- Withdrawal fees: about $0–3. The fee depends on the method and your country. Payoneer and the Revenue Card usually cost about $1, and a bank transfer through Payoneer about $3.
- Currency conversion: Payoneer and PayPal charge an exchange markup when you convert dollars to your own currency, usually around 2% and 3–4%.
