Nook’s note

PeoplePerHour measures the tier against lifetime billing per buyer. Do not enter your combined platform earnings across every client.

How the calculation works

Understand the lifetime-billing tiers

PeoplePerHour uses lower freelancer service-fee percentages as lifetime billing with one buyer increases. The thresholds are stated separately for GBP, USD, and EUR, so this calculator limits the currency choices to those official structures.

Current tier structure20% below the first threshold; 7.5% through the middle tier; 3.5% above the upper threshold, excluding VAT

The buyer relationship matters

Lifetime billing is tracked for each buyer. Reaching a lower tier with one buyer does not automatically reduce the fee for a different buyer.

Invoices can cross a threshold

The calculator splits an invoice across the applicable bands when the new payment crosses a threshold. It then applies the stated minimum service fee and any VAT percentage you enter.
