How much does Upwork charge for a direct contract?

@coty.bode 

Upwork charges a sliding fee for direct contracts based on the total amount billed with each client. The fee structure is as follows:

• 20% for the first $500 billed to the client
• 10% for total billings between $500.01 and $10,000
• 5% for total billings above $10,000

For example, if you billed $1,000 to a client on Upwork, the platform would charge a 20% fee on the first $500 ($100) and a 10% fee on the remaining $500 ($50), resulting in a total fee of $150.

It's worth noting that these fees are subject to change, and it is always advisable to refer to Upwork's official website for the most up-to-date fee information.
