Common questions
- How much does Upwork charge freelancers?
- Upwork currently charges a flat 10% marketplace service fee on all freelancer earnings.
- Why does my bank give a lower rate than the market rate?
- Banks and wallets add an exchange margin on top of the mid-market rate. Enter the rate you actually receive, not the interbank rate.
- Can I change the withdrawal fee for my method?
- Yes. Pick the closest method, then adjust the USD to PKR rate to include any extra margin so the final PKR matches your real payout.
