How soon do you get paid on UpWork?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 9:07 pm

If you are an UpWork user, you may be wondering how long it takes for you to receive your payment. Unfortunately, the answer to this question is somewhat complicated.

Generally, payments are processed and sent out within two business days (Monday-Friday). However, due to the large volume of payments that we receive, sometimes payments may take a little longer to process.

PRO TIP: If you are new to Upwork, you may be wondering how soon you will get paid for the work you do. The answer to this question depends on a few factors, including the payment method you choose and whether or not you have completed a contract with the client.

If you are working with a client for the first time, it is important to remember that they may not be familiar with your work and may want to review it before releasing payment. This is why it is important to communicate with your client about their expectations and timeline for payment.

If you have chosen the hourly payment method, you will be paid for the hours you work each week through Upwork’s weekly invoicing system. Your client will be required to approve the hours worked before payment is released. If you have chosen the fixed-price payment method, you will be paid according to the terms of your contract with the client. It is important to note that Upwork does not release payments until the client has marked the milestone as complete and approved.

Additionally, if you have made a significant contribution to a project, your payment may be processed more quickly.

So, in general, if you have submitted a project for review and have not yet received a payment, it is likely that the process will take two business days. However, if you have made a significant contribution to a project, the payment may be processed more quickly.

So, in short, the answer to the question of how long it takes for you to receive your payment on UpWork is that it usually takes two business days, but can take up to four business days depending on the circumstances.
