Fee explainer · Home services & handymanHow much does TaskRabbit charge?
Book a Tasker and the price you see will not be the price you pay. Here is how TaskRabbit's fees stack up in 2026, taken straight from its own support pages, with a worked example to show it.
Pricing sourced July 2026 · Pre-launch comparison
In short
TaskRabbit puts a 15% service fee on top of the Tasker's rate. Then comes a Trust & Support fee, usually a percentage of the whole task price that shifts with your location. Since both are percentages, the client's total keeps rising as the job gets bigger.
TaskRabbit vs a flat fee, side by side
| TaskRabbit | Bobby (pre-launch) | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee model | Percentage service fee + trust fee | Flat fee per booking |
| Added to the client bill | 15% service fee plus a trust fee | Flat $1 per booking |
| Who the fee scales with | Grows with the task price | Fixed, whatever the task price |
| What the worker keeps | Their rate, minus what the fees add to the client total | 100% of their rate |
A worked example
Take a $200 handyman job.
TaskRabbit: A 15% service fee adds $30, and the Trust & Support fee adds more on top, so the client can pay well above $230 for a $200 job.
Bobby (being built): With the flat model Bobby has planned, that fee is just $1. The worker still gets their full $200, and the client pays $201.
The client pays a 15 percent service fee above the Tasker's hourly rate. Sitting on top of that is a Trust & Support fee, which TaskRabbit calls a percentage of the total task price that varies by location and task. Add them together and they can push the headline rate up by a fair bit, and both get larger as the job does.
So a longer or pricier job means proportionally more in platform fees, even though matching the client with a worker takes the same effort every time. The worker names their rate, but the fees wedge themselves between what the client pays and what the worker is actually owed.
A flat per-booking fee breaks that link between the platform charge and the job size. Bobby is being built on a flat $1 per booking, added on top of the provider's price, so the provider keeps 100 percent of their rate and the fee never grows with the work.
