Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 10:44 pm

As a freelancer, you have the power to change the rate you charge for your services. You can do this by going to your Settings tab and clicking on the “Change” link next to your current hourly rate. Doing so will take you to a page where you can enter your new hourly rate.

When changing your hourly rate, be sure to consider the following:

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about changing your rates in Upwork, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure that you are comfortable with the new rate you are proposing. Second, be prepared to explain why you are changing your rates. Finally, be aware that if you change your rates, it may affect your position in search results.

-The average rate for your skillset in your region
-The cost of living in your region
-The going rates for similar services on other platforms
-Your experience and skillset
-The time required to complete the project

Once you have considered all of these factors, you can enter your new hourly rate and click “Save.” Your new rate will go into effect immediately. Note that you can only change your hourly rate once every 30 days.

If you’re not sure what hourly rate to charge, we recommend starting with the average rate for your skillset in your region. You can always adjust your rate up or down based on the project details and your own unique skillset.
