There are a few reasons why you might want to change your hourly rate. Maybe you’ve been working on UpWork for a while and have gained more experience, so you feel you can charge more. Or perhaps you’re working on a project that requires more of your time and effort, so you need to adjust your rate accordingly.

Whatever the reason, changing your hourly rate is easy to do. Simply go to your Settings and click on the Rates tab. From there, you can update your default hourly rate or create a new custom rate for a specific project.
