Payment is not what you expected?

Check your payment status, see why a payout may look different, and open a dispute if something's wrong.

Written by Katherine Hart

If a payment looks wrong, start by checking its status and breakdown in your Pro Dashboard.

đŸ“± Check Your Payment Status

  • Pending

    • Your payment passed quality check and is being processed. Payments are processed within 5–7 business days from when you close out the job in the app or dashboard. Your expected payment date is listed in your Pro Dashboard.

  • Paid

    • Your payment has been sent. Allow 4 business days for the direct deposit to reach your bank account. The deposit will show as coming from Lula.

💰 Why Your Payout May Look Different

  • Background check fee

    • On your first job, a one-time $45 is deducted to cover your background check. You won't see it again unless you run checks for additional employees.

  • 12% Lula fee

    • A 12% fee is deducted from the job total on hourly jobs, Flat Rate jobs, Approved Quotes, and Custom Services.

    • The 12% fee does NOT apply to Flat Rate Handyman Catalog jobs, Trip Fees, Diagnostic Fees, or Specialty Preferred Programs (HVAC and Water Heater Replacements).

  • Review your financial statement

    • Your Pro Dashboard shows a full breakdown of each completed job (not available in the app yet). Follow this financial statements guide for a walkthrough.
