Payout FX markup
Check the FX markup on Upwork, Fiverr and PayPal payouts
Compare what a payout platform paid you with the dated reference rate to see the implied exchange rate and markup on each withdrawal.
When to use this tool
Freelancers often notice the platform or partner-bank rate is below the market rate. Put numbers on it: compare each withdrawal with the reference rate for its date.
- Add the amount you actually received as a 6th column; FXpeek shows the implied rate, markup % and FX cost per withdrawal.
- Works for Upwork, Fiverr, PayPal, Payoneer, Stripe or any payout with a date, currency and received amount.
- First 3 rows preview free; up to 200 rows for a one-off $9. Estimates from reference rates, not the platform's fee statement.
FAQ
How do I know how much a platform charged on currency conversion?
Divide the amount received by the amount sent to get the implied rate, then compare it with the reference rate for the same date. The batch tool does this per row and reports the markup % and FX cost.
Is the reference rate the rate I could have got?
No. It is a daily reference (mid-market style) rate; real conversions include a spread. The comparison shows how far the platform rate is from that benchmark.
I am a freelancer in India or the Philippines paid in USD. How do I see what PayPal or Upwork kept?
List each withdrawal with its date, USD amount and the INR or PHP amount that reached your bank, then paste the rows into the batch tool (USD to INR or USD to PHP). Each row shows the implied rate, markup % and FX cost versus the reference rate for that date, so you can compare platforms or withdrawal methods on your own numbers.
