Do Gig Workers Keep 100%? Chambazo Fees Explained
Most gig platforms take a cut from the worker. Chambazo does the opposite: the worker keeps 100% of the posted rate, and the platform fee is paid by the employer. Here is exactly how the money flows.
What the worker pays: nothing
Workers pay $0 in platform fees and keep 100% of the posted rate. A $200 gig pays the worker $200. There is no signup fee, no payout fee, and no per-gig commission taken from the worker.
100% of any tip also goes to the worker, on top of the posted rate.
What the employer pays: rate + 15%
Employers pay the worker’s posted rate plus a flat 15% platform fee. There are no subscriptions and no hidden charges — you see the full price before you confirm.
This is the opposite of pay-per-lead models, where you pay just to contact someone. On Chambazo you only pay when you actually hire and the job is done.
When money moves
Your card is held when you hire (so the worker is locked in) and captured only when you confirm the job is complete. The worker carries zero float, and you are protected against no-shows.
Once confirmed, the worker’s pay is routed to their bank automatically, typically arriving in 1–2 business days.
