A $500 Fiverr order. After the 20% service fee, PayPal withdrawal, and income tax — you keep $285. Not $400. Not $500. This calculator shows you the real number — and what to charge to hit your target.
The Real Numbers
You keep $0.57 of every $1.00 charged
What Freelancers Miss
PayPal takes $1.00 per withdrawal. Payoneer takes $3.00. International bank wire: $3.00. Only US bank transfer and the Fiverr Revenue Card are free. The calculator shows the net impact of each withdrawal method on your specific order value.
Many freelancers calculate tax on gross income — which overstates their tax burden. The correct order: gross → platform fee → withdrawal fee → self-employment tax (US) → income tax. The calculator applies this exact sequence.
Fiverr holds funds for 14 days after order completion (7 days for Top Rated Sellers). The calculator shows your clearance timeline based on seller level — so you can plan cash flow accurately.
