$50 Minimum Payout Threshold

Fansit's minimum payout amount is $50 USD — equivalent to about 16,667 FanBucks at the current cash-out rate.

If your available balance is below $50, no payout is initiated. The balance rolls forward to the next cycle.

Why a minimum

ACH bank transfers cost us a fixed processor fee per transfer regardless of amount. Below $50, those fees become disproportionate to the value of the payout.

Most creator-platform minimums are $20–$100 — we picked $50 as a reasonable middle ground.

How it works in practice

  • Manual schedule: the Withdraw button is disabled until your available balance hits $50.
  • Weekly schedule: if Friday rolls around and your available balance is below $50, the payout is skipped. We try again next Friday.
  • Monthly schedule: if the 1st of the month arrives and your available balance is below $50, payout is skipped. We try again on the next 1st.

The balance doesn't "expire." It rolls forward indefinitely until it crosses the threshold.

What if I never hit $50?

If you earn very small amounts and never hit $50, the balance just keeps rolling. Eventually it'll cross the line and trigger a payout. There's no expiration on FanBucks.

If you really need access to a sub-$50 balance, the only option is to:

  1. Earn more. Post, promote, hit $50.
  2. Spend the FanBucks on Fansit yourself as a fan — you can subscribe to other creators or unlock content. (Most creators don't do this, but it's an option.)

Pending vs available

The $50 minimum only applies to your available balance, not your pending balance. Pending FanBucks have to mature through the 10-day hold before counting toward the threshold.

This means a creator with $300 in pending and $30 in available cannot withdraw until enough of the pending matures into available.

Pre-minimum earnings

For brand-new creators in their first month, earning $50 in available balance can take a few weeks:

  • Week 1: all earnings are in pending.
  • Week 2: still mostly pending.
  • Day 11+: earnings start clearing into available.
  • Cumulative available crosses $50 at some point in week 2–4 for most active creators.

Adjusting the threshold

The $50 minimum is fixed for everyone. We don't currently allow custom thresholds.

If you have a specific business need that requires a higher or lower threshold, contact support@fansit.com with details — we evaluate case-by-case but don't usually adjust.

What if I close my account with $20 in available?

Below-threshold balances at account closure are forfeited to Fansit. We don't process payouts under $50, even one-time exceptions, because the processor fees would consume most of the value.

This is one reason to wait until you've built up an above-threshold balance before closing your account.
