# Your account and payouts

How cleared money reaches you, and how to sign out, change your email or leave.

## Quick answers

- **What's the minimum payout?** $5. Your first payout goes the day you're owed $5, then every Monday once it's $5 or more. Cracked pays the payout fee. Next: Settings, https://cracked.app/settings
- **Do I pay taxes on this?** Creators are independent contractors, so your taxes are yours to handle, as Cracked's Terms say. For a tax form or a tax question, write to hello@cracked.app. Next: Terms, https://cracked.app/terms
- **How do I get paid?** When a shop buys your ad for $49, $29.40 is yours. Once its refund window (7 days) is over, it goes to your PayPal or Venmo (no other ways yet): first the day you're owed $5, then every Monday. Sales start when sending to shops opens for you. Next: Settings, https://cracked.app/settings

Paid by PayPal or Venmo: your first payout the day you're first owed $5, then every Monday once it's $5 or more. Cracked pays the payout fee. You need to be 18 or older.

## What Settings needs

- Say you're 18 or over.
- Save where your payouts go: your PayPal or Venmo.
- A payout destination two accounts share is held for review. The money isn't rejected; correct it in Settings, or wait for the review.

Only cleared money pays out: see [pending, then cleared](https://cracked.app/help/earning.md). Your Earnings page shows what's pending, what's cleared and when it clears.

## Your sign-in and your account

- Sign in on any phone or computer with your email: Cracked emails a 6-digit code. No password.
- Sign out: the last line of Settings, or tap your initials at the top. It signs out the phone or computer you're on.
- Your payout email is separate from your sign-in email: change it any time in Settings, under Get paid.
- Turn off your AI: on Your AI, under Connections, tap Turn off. It stops at once.
