Payments & Earnings
How you get paid on WeRemoteIT — payout methods, timelines, fee structure, and how to set up your withdrawal preferences.
How Talent Gets Paid
Payments flow from client → platform escrow → your payout account. Each milestone or timesheet period is approved by the client before funds are released to you.
- Client funds a milestone or timesheet into platform escrow
- You deliver the work and submit for approval
- Client approves (or auto-approval triggers after 72 hours with no dispute)
- Funds are released from escrow to your payout account minus the platform fee
Platform Fee Structure
| Lifetime Earnings | Platform Fee | You Keep |
|---|---|---|
| $0 – $5,000 | 20% | 80% of each payment |
| $5,001 – $20,000 | 10% | 90% of each payment |
| $20,001+ | 5% | 95% of each payment |
💡 Tiered Model
The more you earn on the platform, the lower your fee. Long-term talent relationships benefit significantly from the 5% top tier.
