Can I Change Hourly Rate on UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 10:26 am

As a freelancer, you have the ability to change your hourly rate on UpWork. You can do this by going to your Settings and then clicking on the “Billing” tab. From here, you can change your hourly rate and save your changes.

If you’re not sure what hourly rate to charge, you can use UpWork’s pricing calculator. This tool will help you determine a fair price based on the skills you offer and the going rate for those skills.

PRO TIP: If you change your hourly rate on Upwork, be aware that your earnings may be less than what you were making before. Your new rate will not take effect until the start of the next billing period.

In general, it’s best to start with a lower hourly rate and then gradually increase it as you build a reputation on UpWork and get more experience. This will help you attract clients who are looking for a good value. Once you have a few satisfied clients, you can start charging more per hour.

Keep in mind that changing your hourly rate will affect all future contracts. So if you have an ongoing project with a client, be sure to let them know about the change in advance.
