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 has been released. Allow 5–7 business days to process. Your expected payment date is listed in your Pro Dashboard.

  • Paid

    • Your payment has posted to your 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.
