Every program shows what it pays before you join. You earn as your work is approved or performs, and the money lands in your Stripe balance.

## How you earn

A program pays per approved video, a share of ad spend, or per organic post (by its views). You get the full amount shown, retainers included; Lucra's fee is charged to the brand.

## When you get paid

You're paid as soon as the brand's payment goes through. Each earning moves through three statuses:

| Status    | Meaning                              |
| --------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Pending   | The brand's payment is going through |
| Available | On its way to your Stripe balance    |
| Paid      | In your Stripe balance               |

Earnings reach your balance once your identity is verified; until then they keep adding up.

## Withdraw

Your balance stays in Lucra until you withdraw it. Withdraw anytime from **Finance**, with no minimum. Standard withdrawals are free; instant withdrawals cost 1.5% (at least 50¢).
