# ViewPayout Payouts and Fees: How Creators Get Paid

Creators are paid in US dollars for verified views after a hold. The platform keeps 15% from each side. This page shows the arithmetic.

## The arithmetic

1. Gross = the smaller of the cap and (views / 1,000 x rate). Under the view floor, gross is zero.
2. The creator receives the gross minus 15%.
3. The brand pays the gross plus 15%.
4. Both fees round down to the cent, so rounding never costs either side more than the stated percentage.

The cap applies before the fee. With a $50 cap and views that reach it, the creator receives $42.50 and the brand pays $57.50.

## The hold

A post earns while it is measured. The money is not available until the hold ends, 14 days by default. A creator's balance shows what is available, what is pending in a hold, what has been requested and what has been paid.

## Cashing out

- The minimum cashout is $25.
- Payouts are in US dollars only.
- An operator approves each cashout before money moves.
- Money moves through Stripe Connect. Stripe collects identity, bank details and tax forms when a creator sets up payouts.
- A fraud flag freezes a person's payout until it is reviewed.
