Our new extension for Upwork freelancers, Freelance Pro, is now publicly available. This tool calculates precisely how much you could earn from a freelance job in your local currency without leaving the Upwork site. Download it today or read on to find out more.

Upwork, one of the largest freelance marketplaces, is utilized by millions worldwide. However, it only supports billing and pricing in US Dollars. For numerous freelancers living in different countries, calculating earnings in local currency can be challenging. But not anymore.

Seamlessly Convert Upwork Pricing to 150+ Local Currencies

Once you install the Freelance Pro Browser Extension in Chrome (or another Chromium-based browser),  a currency conversion will display on the Upwork job page. This feature shows you the hourly rate or fixed job amount in your local currency. We support nearly every currency in the world!

See How Much You'll Pay in Fees

Upwork have recently simplified their fee structure, but we make it easy to see exactly what will be deducted from your earnings in your local currency. This way, you'll have an easy estimate of what you'll take home!
