✓ Switch your contract type

To change a contract from hourly to fixed-price (or vice versa) on Upwork, you must end the current contract and create a new one with the updated terms. After closing the contract, both parties have 14 days to leave feedback.

If you and your freelancer want to switch your contract type from hourly to fixed-price (or vice-versa), you’ll need to start a new contract.

To do so:

1. End your current contract (for additional details on ending a fixed-price contract, go here.)
2. Rehire the freelancer under a new contract, with the updated terms you both have agreed to.

As always, once you close the contract you will both have 14 days to leave feedback for each other — we hope you will!
