Can I Change My Rate on UpWork?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 10:31 pm

As a freelancer, you are in control of your own rates. You can increase or decrease your hourly rate at any time, though we recommend only making changes based on your experience and the value you feel you bring to the table. If you do make a change, be sure to update your profile and job proposals so that potential clients are aware of your new rate.

There are a few things to keep in mind when changing your rate:

– Make sure you have a strong justification for why you’re increasing your rate. If you’re just starting out, it’s probably not wise to immediately start charging top dollar. Conversely, if you’ve been undercharging for your services, now is the time to correct that.

– Be mindful of the going rates for freelancers with your skillset and experience level. You don’t want to price yourself out of the market, but you also don’t want to leave money on the table.

– Keep an eye on your client satisfaction score. If it starts to dip after you raise your rates, it could be an indication that you’re now charging too much. In that case, you may want to consider lowering your rates again.

Overall, changing your rate is a personal decision that should be based on what you feel you’re worth. Just be sure to do your research and make sure your new rate is in line with the current market conditions.
