Getting paid: payout rules

The short version

Set up a payout account early. Without one, earnings are capped and can be forfeited after 6 months.

What it means for you

Without a payout account you can build up to $500 per tool, or $1,500 across three tools. On Instagram, earning stops at 5 months. After 6 months, unpaid earnings are forfeited.

Payouts go out around the 21st of each month for the previous month's earnings and take 1 to 7 business days to arrive, or up to 10 internationally.

If your balance is under the minimum, it rolls over. Changing payout details triggers a 5-day hold, so make changes at least 10 days before payday.
