Learn what is a minimum payout amount and how it affects when you receive your payouts.                                                               

The minimum payout amount is the minimum balance you need to reach before Travelpayouts can send you a payout.

The minimum amount depends on your selected payout method. You can check the minimum amount for each payout method in your account settings.

How the minimum payout amount works

Payouts are generated automatically once the following conditions are met:

• your balance has reached the minimum payout amount for your selected payout method.
  
• the required amount was accumulated from confirmed bookings made before the end of the previous month.
• your payout details are filled in correctly.
• your payout method is confirmed.

Earnings from the current month are not included in the current payout cycle. They can be included in a future payout after the month ends.

Why a payout may not be created even if your balance is high enough

Your visible balance may include earnings from the current month. However, to receive a payout in the current month, you need to reach the minimum payout amount using earnings from previous months.

For example, today is February 11. Your balance is USD 550, and the minimum payout amount is USD 500.

However, USD 100 of this amount comes from bookings made in February. This means only USD 450 was accumulated before the end of January. Since USD 450 is below the minimum payout amount, the payout will not be created in February.

Can I lower the minimum payout amount?

No. You cannot lower the minimum payout amount for your selected payout method beyond system values.

For example, if the minimum payout amount for PayPal is USD 50, you cannot lower it to USD 25.

How to set a higher payout limit

You can choose to receive payouts only after your balance reaches a higher amount than the minimum payout amount. 

For example, if the minimum payout amount for your payout method is USD 50, you can set a higher payout limit, such as USD 100 or USD 200.

To set a higher payout limit:

1. Go to your payout methods settings.
2. Click Edit next to your main payout method.
3. Enter the amount you want to accumulate before receiving a payout in the Minimum payout required field.
   
4. Save the changes.

After that, Travelpayouts will create a payout only when your eligible balance reaches the amount you specified. The payout will be generated automatically during the next payout cycle.

This can be useful if you want to accumulate a larger amount before receiving a payout.
