Does UpWork Charge the Employer?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 10:20 pm

UpWork is a freelancing platform that connects businesses with remote workers. It is free to sign up and create a profile as an employer.

UpWork charges businesses a service fee of 2.75% to 3.75% of the total contract amount for each completed project. The service fee is deducted from the freelancer’s earnings.

PRO TIP: Upwork does indeed charge the employer. It’s a common misconception that only freelancers are charged fees on the site – but that’s not true. Employers are also charged fees, which are generally a little lower than the freelancer fees.

As an employer, you may be wondering if UpWork also charges you a fee. The answer is no, UpWork does not charge employers any fees. You only pay the service fee when you hire a freelancer and the project is completed successfully.

There are no other hidden fees or costs associated with using UpWork. You may be required to pay taxes on your earnings, but this will depend on your country’s tax laws.

Overall, UpWork is an affordable way to hire remote workers for your business. The only cost you need to worry about is the service fee, which is a small price to pay for the convenience and flexibility of hiring freelancers online.
