Fiverr Fee Calculator 2026 — Net Earnings After the 20% Cut
Fiverr keeps a flat 20% of every order before it lands in your balance. See your real payout after the seller fee and your chosen withdrawal method, and reverse-solve the price for a target take-home.
Flat 20% seller service fee deducted from every order, regardless of gig price. Buyers separately pay a 5.5% (or $2 minimum) buyer service fee on checkout — that's added to what the buyer pays, not deducted from your earnings, so it isn't included in the calculation below. Withdrawal fees vary by payout method.

Fiverr's flat 20% seller fee
Unlike marketplaces with tiered commission, Fiverr keeps the math simple: 20% off the top of every order, no matter your seller level or how much you've sold historically. List a $100 gig and Fiverr pays out $80 before you've even chosen a withdrawal method.
Why the buyer's 5.5% fee doesn't touch your payout
Fiverr charges buyers a separate service fee (5.5%, $2 minimum) at checkout, on top of the order price. It's easy to conflate this with your own 20% seller cut, but the two are independent — buyers see a higher total, sellers still lose exactly 20% of the listed gig price.
