How are Total Earnings calculated?

Total Earnings is the dollar value of all jobs a service provider has accepted on Elance.

When a service provider sends an invoice through the Elance Payment Service or the employer releases the funds on an Elance Escrow milestone, and the provider pays the project fee related to that invoice or Escrow milestone, the amount is added to the provider's 'Total Earnings' section in their profile. 

Per the Elance Terms of Service, service providers are required to use the Elance Payment Service to report and receive all earnings for all their Elance projects.
