Fiverr is one of the most popular freelance platforms, but it has a fee structure that surprises many new sellers: 20% of every sale goes to the platform, regardless of how long you've been selling or your seller level. This applies to the base price, extras, and tips.
Fiverr es una de las plataformas de freelance más populares del mundo, pero tiene una estructura de comisiones que sorprende a muchos vendedores novatos: el 20% de cada venta se lo queda la plataforma, sin importar cuánto llevas vendiendo ni cuál es tu nivel. Este porcentaje aplica al precio base del gig, a los extras y también a las propinas.

Beyond Price: The Delivery of Your Digital ProductMás Allá del Precio: La Entrega del Producto Digital
A frequent mistake among digital product sellers on Fiverr is not correctly specifying the size of the files they will deliver. Fiverr has upload limits for deliverable files (currently 1 GB per file), and buyers also have expectations about the size of what they'll download.
Un error frecuente entre los vendedores de productos digitales en Fiverr es no especificar correctamente el tamaño de los archivos que entregarán. Fiverr tiene límites de carga para los archivos entregables (actualmente 1 GB por archivo), y los compradores también tienen expectativas sobre el tamaño de lo que descargarán.

How to Describe Your Deliverables with PrecisionCómo Describir tus Entregables con Precisión
In your gig description, precision builds trust. Instead of writing "high-resolution files," specify: "Package of 47 PNG files, 3000×3000 px resolution, total size approx. 230 MB." With SwiftConvertHub you can verify that equivalence: 230 MB equals approximately 219 MiB. If the buyer uses a Mac (which historically shows sizes in MiB under the MB label), your information matches exactly what they'll see on their device.
En la descripción de tu gig, la precisión genera confianza. En lugar de escribir "archivos de alta resolución", especifica: "Paquete de 47 archivos PNG, resolución 3000×3000 px, tamaño total aprox. 230 MB."

Si el comprador usa un Mac (que históricamente ha mostrado tamaños en MiB bajo la etiqueta de MB), tu información cuadra exactamente con lo que verá en su equipo.

What is my actual hourly rate on Fiverr after fees?
Divide your net earnings (after Fiverr's 20%) by the actual hours spent on the project, including revisions and communication time. Most sellers discover their effective hourly rate is 30–50% lower than they thought once revision rounds and admin time are factored in. The Feexio Fiverr Fee Calculator shows your net earnings instantly, and the Freelance Rate Calculator helps you verify that it covers your target.
How should I communicate file sizes to clients for digital deliveries?
State file sizes clearly in your gig description — not just format (PDF, PSD, MP4) but actual file size in MB or GB. This sets realistic download expectations and reduces delivery disputes. For large files, use Google Drive, Dropbox, or WeTransfer rather than Fiverr's built-in file delivery, and send the link in the delivery message.
Does Fiverr take 20% from tips too?
Yes. Fiverr charges the same 20% service fee on tips that buyers add after order completion. This is worth knowing when a client offers to 'make it up to you with a tip' — the tip is still subject to the platform fee. Net earnings from tips follow the same calculation as regular order earnings.
