Managing the requester's personal account

To send tasks for completion, you must have money in your Toloka account. For more information, see Topping up your account.

All payments between requesters and Tolokers are made in U.S. dollars. The account balance is shown in the main menu:

• The green number is the account balance.

• Gray indicates funds reserved for the tasks waiting to be reviewed.

Money in the account is spent on the following items:

• Payment per task

• Fee

• Bonuses for Tolokers

You can track spending in your profile. You can also download a task report in a PDF file. To monitor the funds available in your account, set up notifications.

Payment per task

The price of a task is set by the requester in the pool settings. Money is deducted from the account as tasks are completed. If you review assignments after they are completed, the money for completed tasks is first reserved, and then deducted.

Fees

The requester is charged a fee for using Toloka — a percentage of the cost of tasks including bonuses.

The amount by project is shown in your profile (on the Spent tab). You can see total fees for the pool tasks on the pool page (the Budget spent (+ markup) and Approximate budget (+ markup) fields).

Main and secondary accounts

Requesters who opted for a paper contract can create main and secondary accounts.

Limitations:

• Only accounts without any projects can be main and secondary accounts.

• We recommend the post-paid type of contract for main and secondary accounts.

Keep in mind the following:

• General skills.

• Each secondary account has its own password and username.

• You can't convert a secondary account into the main one.

• Payments are only available for the main account, from which the funds are distributed to secondary accounts.

• Financial reports and closing documents are issued to the main account and are not sent to secondary accounts.

If you want to create main and secondary accounts, write to support.
