Earnings and payouts

GPU earnings shows what your devices earned and what is ready for payout, per settlement period and per device, with each GPU of a machine under it. Earnings depend on eligible work being assigned and performed.

Settlement is monthly: a period settles at the month's end and is paid within 14 days. A payout is requested from the payable amount only, never from estimated or accrued.

What a new GPU earns while HIPS checks it is held until the check passes, and only that GPU's earnings: the rest of your devices are not held. Once the check passes, the held amounts settle as any other.

Standing and holds, on GPU earnings, names each hold on your earnings and says beside it until when, or what it means where it has no end date. Besides a new GPU's check, above:

Batch work is one request of a buyer's batch at a time, run when capacity is free within the batch's window. It pays your share of the batch rate, half the on-demand rate of the same model, by the same share rule as every other job. A device is offered batch work only when its share clears the device's minimum price, and a request the batch's window closes on is neither charged nor paid.

Work history lists every job your devices ran: the time, the device, the model and engine, the kind of work, the outcome (completed, failed, rejected, interrupted, timed_out) and the job id, filtered by device, date range, outcome and kind of work. What a job cut short earns follows the Provider Agreement: a job ended by the device, its app or you earns nothing; one ended by HIPS, or canceled by a buyer after output began, earns the price of the units it produced before it ended; one canceled before output, nothing.

hips-provider history shows what the computer recorded itself, day by day, without earnings.

Payouts go by bank transfer to a bank account you connect through Stripe, decided by the one country where you are paid, never by where your machines run. On Payouts, Connect a bank account opens Stripe in a new window, where you enter your bank details; HIPS does not store them. The screen follows Stripe's checks by itself and says what Stripe still needs.

Paid work opens in a country once payouts open there; until then a device there takes test work only. No payout is made to a sanctioned country. The terms of the program are on the public Earn page and in the Provider Agreement.

You can take a share of each month's payout as Credits in a workspace you own, instead of money, once HIPS publishes the Additional Terms "Earnings as Credits" and you accept them on Payouts. Until they are published, Payouts says so and every payout goes to your bank account.

• One dollar of earnings becomes one dollar of Credits, with no bonus. Credits expire 12 months after they are added and never become money again.
• The share is a whole percent of the month's whole payout, from 0 to 100, taken at the settlement on the 7th; the rest goes to your bank account. A change applies from the next settlement.
• The payout threshold is judged on the month's whole payout, before the split: below it nothing converts and the month waits, as a payout does; at or above it both parts are paid, the bank part whatever its size.
• Move to Credits now moves what is settled as payable and not yet paid into Credits at once, at most 10 times in 24 hours.
• Credits wait for what a payout waits for: your verified identity, your payout profile, the tax information collected with your bank account through Stripe, payouts open in your payout country, and no hold on your account.
• Credits go only to a workspace you own alone, with no other member or invitation, that is not frozen for a card dispute, and pay off a negative balance there first. Deleting that workspace ends the choice.
• Stop taking Credits on Payouts at any time: from the next settlement every payout goes to your bank account, and the Credits already added stay. Closing your provider account ends it too.

For each month in which you had earnings, an adjustment or a netting entry, HIPS gives you a Settlement Statement no later than that month's Payable Date, the 14th day after the month ends. It is written once the month's payouts have run, on the 13th at the latest, and sent to you by email. GPU earnings lists your statements under Statements, newest first; a row opens to the detail, and its PDF opens in a new tab.

• A statement shows the qualifying work in totals by device and model, the earnings settled as payable, the amounts carried forward, held, adjusted and forfeited with their categories, the netting, any tax withheld, any Irish VAT paid with the earnings, and the payouts made. No tax is withheld: Irish law requires HIPS to withhold none from earnings.
• With it, HIPS issues the month's self-billed invoice in your name, under the self-billing agreement of the Provider Agreement section 15.5, which you concluded when you accepted the agreement, so you do not issue your own invoice for it. A month with nothing to invoice (only netting, or a net amount of zero or less) has no invoice.
• Each invoice bears the words "Self-billing" and a number of its own, in one sequence per year (SB-2026-000001), with your name, address and VAT number, HIPS's name, address and Irish VAT number, the date of issue, the month as the period of supply, and the supply described as GPU Time, a computation service you perform with equipment you own or control.
• The amounts are in US dollars, with the figures in euros at the European Central Bank's euro reference rate of the day of issue, or the last one published before it.
• Established outside Ireland, the invoice states "Reverse charge applies": HIPS accounts for the Irish VAT and adds none to your earnings. Established in Ireland and registered for VAT there, HIPS adds Irish VAT at the rate in force to your earnings once the EU's VIES service confirms your Irish VAT number, states it on the invoice in dollars and euros and pays it to you with them, and you account for it. HIPS checks the number with VIES by itself, within the hour of your giving it and again each month; months settled before it is confirmed get their VAT at the first settlement after, and an amount corrected after a settlement corrects the VAT at the next one. Established in Ireland and not registered, no VAT is shown.
• The invoice prints the legal name and the VAT number of your payout profile, which you give under Settings (an empty VAT number field removes it), and the address your bank account's details through Stripe hold. Payouts wait for the legal name.
• An invoice that cannot be issued yet waits, and Statements says why beside it: HIPS's Irish VAT number not set yet, the euro reference rate not in yet, or a name or address in a script the document cannot print yet. Each is issued by itself once it can be, dated that day: a name or address in another script once HIPS's documents print it, or as soon as you give it in Latin letters.

You have thirty days from the day an invoice is issued to accept it or object to it, and the invoice and its email give the date. On Statements, Accept the invoice confirms it; Object sends what is wrong with it, in up to 2,000 characters. Each asks you to confirm first. If you do neither by that date, the invoice is accepted: silence is acceptance. Accepting confirms the invoice's content as an invoice only; it does not limit your right to question the statement or to complain.

A person at HIPS reviews each objection and answers you by email, and the answer shows beside the invoice. Either HIPS corrects the invoice: the statement is computed again from your earnings as they stand then, an amount error fixed first by an adjustment of your earnings, with a corrective document that cancels the invoice and a new statement with a new invoice from your details as they are then, and the new invoice has thirty days of its own. Or HIPS tells you why it considers the invoice correct: you then have thirty days from the answer to accept it, after which it is accepted, and you may complain under the Provider Agreement section 16.4.
