What this tool tells you
PeoplePerHour's published freelancer fee tiers are based on lifetime billing per buyer: 20% below £250, 7.5% between £250 and £5,000, and 3.5% above £5,000. The minimum service fee is £1 per invoice, excluding VAT.
How the math works
Enter an invoice in GBP, choose the applicable lifetime-billing rate for that buyer, and apply the £1 minimum. This single-rate illustration does not model a threshold-crossing invoice or VAT.

Are PeoplePerHour's tiers membership-based?
