Read on below to learn more about how tiered pricing works.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is tiered pricing?<\/b><\/h3>\n

In a nutshell, the more you earn through Airtasker, the less you pay in fees. We figure it\u2019s a fair way to reward people doing the bulk of their work through Airtasker.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTiered\u201d pricing means that the service fee is no longer a set percentage \u2013 instead, it has 4 levels (or \u201ctiers\u201d) that lower the service fee amount as you reach it.<\/span><\/p>\n

And we\u2019re talking about a substantial decrease in fees here \u2013 the highest rate remains the same at 20%, but the lowest rate will decrease to 11.9%.<\/span><\/p>\n

How many tiers are there?<\/b><\/h3>\n

There are 4 tiers. You\u2019ll start at Bronze, advance to Silver, then to Gold, and ultimately could reach Platinum. You can see the rates and levels below.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Airtasker<\/p>\n

How does the calculation work?<\/b><\/h3>\n

The tier you belong to is based on how much you\u2019ve earned over the previous 30 days at the time you are assigned to the task.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every time a Poster releases payment to you, the amount is added to your total earnings and will count toward your tier for the next 30 days.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you make an offer, we\u2019ll also add that offer amount to your tier to see if you\u2019d move up (and therefore get the lower fee) by completing this task. If you win this task, the new tier you reached (and the lowered service fee) will apply to the rest of that task, including any price increases and bonuses.<\/span><\/p>\n

When is Airtasker changing tiered pricing?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Tiered pricing will be changed on May 21st, 2024.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Taskers’ earnings from 30 days prior will apply on Day 1 so that you may start on a higher tier (with lower fees).<\/span><\/p>\n

What does tiered pricing mean for me?<\/b><\/h3>\n

For most people, this will mean a significant decrease in your service fee and an increase in your take-home pay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is Airtasker changing the fee structure?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Although the recent discounts for high-value tasks were well received by Taskers completing high-value tasks, it didn\u2019t help those Taskers who were doing a large number of smaller value tasks. To try and make sure it\u2019s fair for both groups, we\u2019re applying discounted fees on total earnings instead of earnings for a single task.<\/span><\/p>\n

More broadly, one of the biggest challenges we face running a growing technology platform is to understand how best to invest our resources. All fees get reinvested straight into the business so that there are more and more jobs to be won and so that we can continue to improve the customer experience for Taskers and Posters.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have big ambitions which require significant investment in our engineering, marketing, design, and support teams. We have actually spent much, much more in building and growing the marketplace to provide more jobs for Taskers than we have received in fees, with the difference coming from external investors.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does the service fee cover?<\/b><\/h3>\n

The service fee covers the costs of keeping the platform running and bringing more and more jobs onto the platform. It also covers the cost of insurance, support, and payments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will I be disadvantaged as a part-time Tasker?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Our research shows that by far the most important factor to win a task is how fast you make an offer and the quality of your reputation. Reputation quality is influenced by your star ratings and the professionalism of the offer made. Because all of these things are within your control as a part-time Tasker, the changes to the pricing shouldn\u2019t affect the way you use Airtasker.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is this the end of the story?<\/b><\/h3>\n

We\u2019re constantly evaluating how our fees are structured to make sure that they\u2019re fair to everyone \u2013 Taskers and Posters alike.
