Wordpress Developers on Upwork charge a median of $25/hr; the middle half ask between $15/hr and $40/hr. That is the advertised hourly rate of 920 wordpress developers with $10K+ in public Upwork earnings, as of Oct 31, 2026.
The spread is wide. The cheapest tenth of these profiles ask $10/hr or less and the top tenth $50/hr or more; the largest single band is $15–29/hr, with 40% of profiles. The chart shows the full mix. Each figure is the rate printed on the freelancer's public Upwork profile, which is what a client sees before sending an invite.
Track record matters too. Profiles with $10K–50K in lifetime earnings ask a median $20/hr; those with $250K+ ask $30/hr. Earnings are the public lifetime figure each profile shows, counted at the floor when Upwork prints only a band.
Country moves the price as well. Among countries with at least 30 profiles, the median runs from $14/hr in the Philippines to $55/hr in the United States. The table lists every country with enough profiles to say something.
What a client pays is not only the rate. Upwork adds a client marketplace fee on top and takes a service fee from the freelancer's side; how much of the money flowing through Upwork it keeps is on the take rate page. Fixed-price contracts are priced per project, not per hour. And this sample is freelancers who have already earned $10,000 or more on Upwork, so newer profiles, which often start lower, are not in it.
