Payout rates by country tier

Pay per view on FileHost.net depends on the country the viewer is in. Countries are grouped into tiers, each with its own rate. The table lists the rate per 1,000 payable views and per 10,000 views, which is how the rates are shown on the earn money page. Rates are in US dollars.

Tier 5Turkey$0.15$1.50

The earn money page shows the rate for every 10,000 views. We divide it by ten to give the figure for 1,000 views.

How to read the table

Find the tier that contains the viewer country, multiply the number of payable views by the per 1,000 figure and divide by 1,000. If your audience is spread over several tiers, add up each tier separately, or let the earnings calculator blend them for you. Countries that are not listed fall under the all other countries rate, and a single country, Turkey, has its own lowest tier.

What makes a view payable

A payable view is a genuine play. The viewer must press play and watch for at least 30 seconds, the playback has to pass our verification steps, and the same viewer can produce at most 1 payable view per day. There are no rewards for automated downloads, and previews by our own staff are not counted. According to the earn money page the video must also be longer than one minute, and for both normal and embedded videos you earn 100 percent.

Minimum payout, methods and schedule

Fees charged by a provider can differ between methods, and the request payout page labels each one. A method can have a higher minimum than the general one, and the higher figure is the one that applies.

Referral income is added on top of the earnings of the person you invited, so it never reduces what they receive. It is paid out with the rest of your balance under the same minimum and methods.

Add your referred creators to the earnings calculator to see how referral income changes the time to your first payout. Referral banners and your link live on the referrals page of the dashboard.
