How are freelancers paid on UpWork?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 9:20 pm

Freelancers on UpWork typically receive payment through two methods: hourly rates and fixed-price projects. Hourly rates are paid when work is completed, while fixed-price projects are paid at a set price upon completion. Both methods of payment can be done through UpWork’s built-in payment system, or through a PayPal account. UpWork also allows for payments in various currencies, including U.

PRO TIP: If you are considering becoming a freelancer on Upwork, it is important to be aware of how payments are made. Upwork uses a system called ‘escrow’ to hold payments from clients until the work is completed and approved. This can be a risk for freelancers as there is no guarantee that the client will release the funds. If the client is unhappy with the work, they may choose not to release the funds, leaving the freelancer out of pocket. It is important to only take on work that you are confident you can complete to a high standard, and to communicate with the client throughout the process to ensure they are happy with your work.
