What freelancers actually charge in 2026

Every figure below is the real hourly rate set by verified freelancers on WorkOfficially, not a survey and not an estimate. Pick a skill to see its low, average and high.

Not enough data yet

A rate is only published once at least 3 verified freelancers with that skill have set one. Publishing an average of one person is not a rate, it is that person's price. This page fills in as more members join.
