How Fiverr fees are calculated

There are two separate fees. The seller fee is taken from your gig price, so it lowers what you receive. The buyer fees are added to the gig price, so they raise what the buyer pays but do not change your pay.

Fiverr fee formulas

You keep = gig price × (1 − seller fee %)

Price to charge = amount to keep ÷ (1 − seller fee %)

Buyer pays = gig price + gig price × buyer fee % + small order fee (if below the limit)

Fiverr earns = seller fee + buyer fees

The defaults are a 20% seller fee, a 5.5% buyer fee and a $3.50 small order fee on orders under $200. Fiverr can change these, so edit them if your account shows different numbers.

Fiverr fee examples

Example 1: a $100 gig

Default fees.

  • Seller fee $20.00
  • You keep $80.00
  • Buyer fees $9.00
  • Buyer pays $109.00
  • Fiverr earns $29.00 (26.6% of what the buyer pays)

You keep 80% of the gig price, but Fiverr collects more than a quarter of the buyer payment.

Example 2: a $250 gig

The order is above the small order limit.

  • You keep $200.00
  • Buyer fees $13.75
  • Buyer pays $263.75
  • Fiverr earns $63.75 (24.2%)

The $3.50 small order fee no longer applies.

Example 3: keep $400

You want to take home $400.

  • Gig price to charge $500.00
  • Buyer pays $527.50

400 ÷ 0.8 = 500.

Gig price table

Default fees.

  • $25 gig keep $20.00, buyer pays $29.88
  • $50 gig keep $40.00, buyer pays $56.25
  • $100 gig keep $80.00, buyer pays $109.00
  • $200 gig keep $160.00, buyer pays $211.00
  • $500 gig keep $400.00, buyer pays $527.50

The small order fee makes cheap gigs look more expensive to the buyer.
