Surveys and micro-tasks simulator
InboxDollars work simulator
Play a few minutes as a new InboxDollars worker. Every fee, payout delay and sign-up rule comes from InboxDollars’s real data where we have it, and everything else is labelled.
- No cut
- Paid after 7 d (assumed)
- 3–6 minutes
How this simulation works
Each game is one of ten templates for a kind of work, filled with this platform’s real data where we have it. Anything we don’t know is either the typical value for its platform type or a plain assumption, and is labelled so below. Demand, job volume and luck are simulated.
| What | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Platform cutNo published percentage for InboxDollars or its type, so the game assumes 0%. | 0% | Assumed |
| Days before money can be withdrawnTypical for this kind of work. | 7 d | Assumed |
| Minimum payoutThe game treats it as no minimum. | Not stated | Assumed |
| Typical pay per hour of task time | $2 | Typical for type |
| Chance a screener rejects you | 35% | Assumed |
| Time you spend each day | 60 min | Assumed |
| Chance there is little or no work that day | 10% | Assumed |
| Real-world benchmark (for comparison only)A large MTurk study found median pay of about $2 per hour, only 4% earned over $7.25 | $2/hr | Typical for type |
A simplified simulation based on InboxDollars’s published rules, for learning only. It is not an earnings promise: real results depend on your skills, location, demand and InboxDollars’s current rules.
