Affects your withdrawal cost

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.

Worked example

Fiverr's flat 20% seller fee, on a $100 gig

$100 gig order, any seller level

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.

Gig price $100.00
Fiverr fee: 20% × $100 $20.00
Your payout $80.00

Fiverr pays out $80 before you've even chosen a withdrawal method — enter your own gig price above.

Easy to confuse

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, no matter what the buyer paid at checkout.

Need to clear a specific amount after Fiverr's cut? The reverse pricing calculator is pre-loaded with the 20% rate and solves for the gig price to list. If you also work through Upwork or invoice directly via PayPal, compare the same target across each channel.
