Heists are among the biggest money-makers in GTA Online, but the headline payout does not tell the whole story. Setup costs, crew cuts, difficulty, time and whether it is your first eligible completion after the weekly reset can all change what you actually earn.
The tables below cover the Original, Doomsday, Casino, Cayo Perico and Kortz Center heists. Eligible activities receive weekly first-completion bonuses, while Cayo Perico target rates and values were adjusted in Title Update 1.73.1 Where the weekly boost applies, the first eligible finale or Primary Target sale after the weekly reset pays more. Additional runs before the next reset use the regular payout.
The figures below use the values in the Heist Earnings Calculator and completed in-game runs. Unconfirmed rotating values are labelled instead of estimated.

Use our heist payout calculator to compare GTA Online heist payouts by difficulty, crew cuts, setup time, and weekly bonuses.
Compare Heist Payouts and Time
Start with the same difficulty and payout basis. The comparison below uses Hard Mode, with the first eligible weekly payout beside the repeat amount. Original and Doomsday figures are the gross finale payout shared by the crew; Casino figures are vault values before deductions. Cayo Perico and Kortz Center figures cover the Primary Target only, with secondary loot added separately. None of these amounts is the host's final profit.
The first weekly bonus for Original, Doomsday and Casino finales depends on the host's completion history. Cayo's weekly change affects target odds, not a separate first-completion cash multiplier. Kortz's higher value applies to the first Primary Target sold after the reset. Temporary event bonuses and one-time awards are not included.

Gross finale or target values as described above. Time estimates exclude matchmaking, failed attempts and replay cooldowns; they are not guaranteed completion times.
Read the time columns separately. Finale time starts after the preparations are finished. Prep + finale estimates add the calculator's preparation ranges to its finale ranges; Original, Doomsday and Casino use coordinated-crew prep estimates. Casino diamonds and Cayo's Panther Statue are event targets and are excluded from the ordinary ranges above. The Kortz range covers confirmed Hard values, not an assumed complete rotation.
For your own take, deduct crew and support cuts where applicable, subtract the host's setup fee and add any earned bonuses. Cayo also deducts a 10% fencing fee and Pavel's 2% cut from the gross take. The current solo Cayo worked example shows those deductions step by step. The detailed tables below retain the other difficulties, target values, setup costs and Elite requirements.
Original GTA Online Heists
The Original Apartment Heists were the first multi-part heists introduced in GTA Online. Each one comprises setup missions followed by a finale, culminating in The Pacific Standard Job. Their repeat payouts are generally lower than the later heists when compared with the time required to complete every setup and finale.
Payout
The table lists the current observed setup costs and repeat-run finale payouts for Easy, Normal and Hard difficulty.
The time column covers the finale only, not the setup missions or matchmaking.
Original Heists Repeat Payouts
Heist | Setup Cost | Payout (Easy) | Payout (Normal) | Payout (Hard) | Finale Time Estimate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
$11,500 | $100,625 | $201,250 | GTA$251,563 | 15-20 mins | |
$25,000 | $350,000 | $700,000 | $875,000 | 15-20 mins | |
$25,000 | $472,500 | $945,000 | $1,181,250 | 15-20 mins | |
$25,000 | $353,500 | $707,000 | $883,750 | 15-20 mins | |
$25,000 | $750,000 | $1,500,000 | $1,875,000 | 20 mins |
Current repeat-run finale payouts by difficulty; the first completion after the weekly reset pays 1.5 times these values.
Heists' Elite Challenges
In every OG heist finale, players can undertake a series of bonus objectives known as Elite Challenges. These challenges task players with either finishing the heist finale within a restricted timeframe or accomplishing specific tasks throughout the mission.
If players successfully complete all Elite Challenges within a single heist, they unlock an additional $100,000 bonus, except for The Fleeca Job, which offers a $50,000 bonus.

- Complete in under 5:20

The Doomsday Heist
The Doomsday Heist is a three-act heist in GTA Online centred on preventing a threat to San Andreas. Each act has its own preparation and setup missions and finale.

The Cayo Perico Heist
The Cayo Perico Heist supports solo finales as well as team play, making it a major solo money-making option. Observed solo finales generally take around 10–15 minutes after prep work is complete.
The Cayo Perico Heist Payout
The first playthrough uses the Madrazo Files as its fixed story target. Later runs rotate among the repeatable Primary Targets. Rockstar changed the repeat target appearance rates to a weekly cadence and adjusted Primary and Secondary Target values in Title Update 1.73.1
Repeatable Primary Targets include Sinsimito Tequila, Ruby Necklace, Bearer Bonds, Pink Diamond and the event-driven Panther Statue. Secondary loot includes artwork, weed, cocaine, cash and gold, limited by loot-bag capacity.

The Cayo Perico Heist Elite Challenges
In addition to its regular rewards, the Cayo Perico Heist offers players the chance to tackle elite challenges for extra cash. Completing these challenges can earn an additional $50,000 in normal mode and a hefty $100,000 in hard mode. The following are the elite challenges.
- Complete the Cayo Perico Heist in less than 15 minutes.
- Full loot bags.
- No failed hacks.
Using Quick Restart forfeits the Elite bonus. Completing Hard Mode without losing a life is the separate Blow Hard award, not an extra Elite requirement. See the Cayo payout and bonus guide for the full breakdown.
The in-depth guide to completing The Cayo Perico Heist as a solo player also covers the Elite Challenges.
The detailed Cayo Perico Heist payout breakdown covers all the primary and secondary targets, loot bag mechanics, bonus payouts and payout value of each target.
The Kortz Center Heist
The Kortz Center Heist is a repeatable art robbery for one to four players. Stolen art can be sold or displayed, and selling more art during the same weekly period lowers buyer demand.3 The first Primary Target sold after the weekly reset received the boosted value in completed runs. Additional sales use the lower buyer-fatigue value, and each additional run costs the host GTA$100,000 to plan. If a paid setup carries across the weekly reset, its target value updates for the new week; the original fee remains spent, but the game does not charge it again.
Confirmed Kortz Center Primary Target Payouts
Primary Target | Difficulty | First sale after weekly reset | Additional sales before next reset |
|---|---|---|---|
La Dernière Débauche | Normal | GTA$1,925,000 | GTA$481,250 |
Consumato | Normal | Not yet confirmed | GTA$308,000 |
I Hear Voices | Normal | Not yet confirmed | GTA$308,500 |
Mi O Melee | Normal | GTA$1,268,000 | GTA$317,000 |
The Downfall of Rome | Hard | GTA$1,342,000 | GTA$335,500 |
I, Fruit | Hard | GTA$1,372,800 | GTA$343,200 |
The Girl with the Pearl Necklace | Hard | GTA$1,361,800 | Not yet confirmed |
Confirmed Normal and Hard values for the first Primary Target sold after the weekly reset and any additional sales before the next reset.
La Dernière Débauche is mandatory on the story run and must be sold. Its return on later runs has not been verified in these completed runs. On Normal, observed additional sales paid GTA$308,000 for Consumato and GTA$308,500 for I Hear Voices after the weekly boost had already been used. Mi O Melee paid GTA$1,268,000 as the first sale after the reset and GTA$317,000 before the reset on the same setup.
On Hard, The Downfall of Rome pays GTA$1,342,000 for the first sale after the weekly reset and GTA$335,500 on an additional sale. I, Fruit pays GTA$1,372,800 for the first sale after the reset and GTA$343,200 on an additional sale. The full Hard rotation and target odds remain unverified in these completed runs, so unverified paintings remain outside the table.
The Girl with the Pearl Necklace's GTA$1,361,800 Hard value was shown on the planning board with the first weekly-sale bonus available; it is not a completed-sale result.
See the complete Kortz Center payout guide for bonuses, fees, solo limits and recorded result breakdowns. You can also use the Heist Earnings Calculator to work out a Normal run or a Hard run with one of the confirmed targets.
