Prolific cashout minimum: approved balances and currencies

Direct answer

Prolific's participant cashout help says a combined approved GBP/USD balance must reach £6/$6. It gives both a single-currency example and a mixed-currency example. Pending submissions are separate from approved funds and cannot be treated as ready to withdraw.

What matters before cashing out

The general “how it works” page describes a threshold in a given currency, while participant help explicitly describes combining currencies. Those formulations are not identical. Check the balance and cashout control in your account and ask Prolific support if your mixed balance does not qualify; we do not invent an exchange-rate calculation.

Do not confuse a pending total with a withdrawal

A submission awaiting review may not yet be accepted. Similarly, a successful payout request does not establish the final converted USD amount: PayPal's currency handling may matter. Security-related cashout timing rules are also distinct from the threshold.

For your own estimates, keep task availability and eligibility uncertain. The survey hourly-rate calculator can illustrate your assumptions, but it cannot predict accepted studies or guarantee pay.
