Model Freelancer.com fixed-price and hourly fees, then see payout before delivery costs, true net profit, break-even gross required, and the gross you need to hit a target net profit.
Freelancer’s public fee language states fixed-price projects use 10% of the selected bid or $5 minimum, so the base fee is tied to the awarded amount rather than only the amount released so far.
Any project payments above the original awarded amount are treated as overage here and charged at 10%, matching the public fee wording.
Preferred Freelancer / Recruiter projects follow a different fee branch. This page stays narrow so the default calculator remains deterministic and honest.
