Bank money stays safe, and players do not lose carried cash when they die. The normal hospital fee is playtime in minutes divided by 90, capped at $2,000 at 3,000 hours. It is charged only when above $200, after about 300 hours.

In LV the hospital fee is one third of the normal fee: playtime in minutes divided by 270, rounded down. It is a third of the fee before the $2,000 maximum is applied, so a player with more than 3,000 hours pays $2,000 elsewhere and less in LV. If that third is below $200, which is under about 900 hours of playtime, you pay nothing in LV. Some LV respawns cost nothing at all.

If you use /kill, you pay the /kill fee and then the hospital fee when you respawn. If you quit the game while you were recently damaged, you are charged $20,000 about 6 seconds after your next login.

Banking and transfers

Use /atm or an ATM marker to deposit, withdraw, transfer, check your balance, and use PIN protected withdrawals and transfers.

Use /bankbalance to check your bank balance. Use /batm to mark all ATMs on the map. Everyone can open Mobile ATM. The Safe Online Banking course is required only for remote Deposit, Withdraw, and Deposit All Cash actions. Physical ATM markers allow all banking actions without the course.

F7 Trading

F7 is the main player market. It has Buy, Sell, Offers, Trading Logs, Orders, and House Search tabs.

The Sell tab shows Average, Minimum, Maximum, AI buys at, and AI sells at. AI Traders can also sell items in the F7 market.

If you list an item at the minimum price and no player buys it first, AI Trader buys it automatically after about 10 seconds. The AI buys at column shows the price where AI Trader can buy the item automatically. AI Trader does not buy some items, such as Diamond, Pumpkin and Jerry Can.

F7 listings can also sell while you are offline. The fee applies only if you are actually offline when the sale happens: 5% for most items, or 2% for VIP Hours, Diamond, and Diamond Wedding Ring.

CIT Inventory Value Calculator

CIT Inventory Value Calculator estimates inventory value from local F7 market prices. It shows minimum, average, and maximum estimates, but it is not a guaranteed sale value.

Items with no known F7 price are shown as unpriced and stay out of the total.

Fire pit

The fire pit at Santa Maria Beach in Los Santos lets you burn money and put it towards events starting. Its orange marker is about 5 metres from the fire. It shows as Fire Pit on the F11 map. Money burned there is destroyed forever, with no refunds.

Secure your account with /security first, because the fire pit asks you to confirm with your PIN.
Enter the Amount ($) and your PIN. The amount is taken from your bank account.
Use Contribute towards: to put the money towards an event starting, or keep Do not contribute.
Click Burn money....

The window also has a Leaderboard tab listing the top money burners (lifetime, including past suggestion sponsorships) and an Events tab.

Group new player reward

Groups can earn money by recruiting and helping new players. The money goes to the group bank account as the recruited player's playtime increases up to 20 hours.

The first hour pays $50,000, and the payout scales down until it reaches $0 once the player has been playing for 20 hours.

This only works if the player has not registered another account already.

Use Notify me of New Players. If the message says accounts on this PC: 1, the reward is available for that player.

Factories do not require rental. Use /gps > Factories, visit a factory and deposit accepted resources. Inputs and outputs are private to the depositing account.

Live Conversion Businesses

Business Investments is live. Group Businesses are no longer active.

Factories do not require rental. Use /gps > Factories, visit a factory and deposit accepted resources. Inputs and outputs are private to the depositing account.

Current earning and payment rules

Earn limits depend on the payment and team: civilian $450,000, criminal/gangster $550,000, police $600,000, and LV turf pay $750,000. VIP adds $90,000. The counter resets when a new real hour begins.
After reaching the earn limit, players can still earn uncapped rewards from CEM events such as FFA, Race, HnS, CDF, and Carbomb.
Community Event Managers receive an additional $400,000,000 weekly cash transfer limit.
Police officers pay the same playtime-based hospital fee as other players. Dying in the event dimension has no hospital fee.
After a server restart or crash, players online about 5 minutes after the server returns receive $100,000, and players online 5 minutes later receive another $100,000. You must be online at each payment to receive it; both payments total $200,000.
Crafting works through F9 anywhere except the event dimension.
The Driller has no current use and cannot be crafted. AI Trader buys existing Drillers through F7 for $100,000.
LV Deaths is a Today's Tops category under Other and pays $1,000.

Factory earnings and hourly job tax

The earn limit resets every real-life hour. The payment that crosses your current limit is cut to the amount still available below it; later cash payments pay 10% until the next hour. Drug and resource rewards stop while over the limit. Civilian, criminal/gangster, police, and LV turf payments have different limits as shown above. CEM events such as FFA, Race, HnS, CDF, and Carbomb offer uncapped rewards.

Team switching does not reset the hourly counter; the limit at the moment of payment applies. Races use the civilian limit regardless of team. Daily login rewards, individual Daily Challenge rewards, and job promotion bonuses are paid in full and do not count toward the limit. The separate Daily Challenge category-completion bonus is reduced over the limit.

Turf resources and drugs count toward the earn limit at a money value as well as the cash. LV turf cash counts before the group-bank share is taken off. A turf payment in the first 5 seconds of a new hour can still pay at 10% if the previous hour's limit was exceeded.

Electrician tickets, Plumber repairs, and City Engineer road tasks still give full job progress when their cash payment is reduced at or above the earn limit.

Hourly Double Earnings

The hourly Double Earnings event doubles most earnings and the earn limit. A VIP limit of $540,000 becomes $1,080,000 for that hour. This is separate from the Double Earnings token.

Hourly Double Earnings does not double turf cash in LS and LV, the $3,000 to $9,000 top damage bonus and the damage pay of armed robberies and criminal events, the daily login reward, Daily Challenge rewards, or the Maths Trivia prize. It does double armed robbery, iron robbery and store robbery pay, kill payments in criminal events, jail payments, job payments such as Crane Operator, Space Miner resources, turf oil, iron and drug payouts, the drug rewards of armed robberies and criminal events, and the earn limit.
