AdSense: How to Withdraw Money From AdSense

AdSense

So you’ve finally started earning money from Google AdSense, congrats!. Whether you’re running a blog, YouTube channel, or website, seeing those numbers move inside your AdSense dashboard is always exciting.

But here comes the big question:

How do you actually withdraw your AdSense money?

If you’re new to AdSense, the payment process can feel a little confusing at first. But no worries, this guide breaks everything down in a super simple, friendly, step-by-step way so you can cash out your earnings without stress.


What You Need Before You Can Withdraw Money From AdSense

Before Google sends you any payment, you must complete a few requirements. Think of this as your “AdSense starter checklist.”

1. Reach the Minimum Payment Threshold

Google only sends payments once your earnings reach $100 (or the equivalent in your local currency). If you haven’t hit $100 yet, your balance will carry over to the next month.

2. Verify Your Identity

Google sometimes asks for an ID to confirm your identity. Without verification, payments may be delayed or put on hold.

3. Complete Your Tax Information

This is a must, even if you’re outside the US. you can do this in the Payment → Settings → Manage Tax Info section.

4. Add a Valid Payment Method

You must select how you want to be paid, bank transfer, wire transfer, etc. (More on this later!)

5. Verify Your Address (PIN Verification)

Once your balance reaches $10, Google mails a physical letter containing a PIN to your home address. You’ll need to enter this PIN into your AdSense account to unlock payments.

Tip: PINs can take 2–4 weeks to arrive depending on your location.


AdSense Payment Methods (What You Can Choose From)

Payment methods vary by country, but these are the most common options:

1. Bank Transfer (EFT) – Most Popular

  • Direct to your bank account
  • Fast
  • Usually no fees
  • Recommended for almost everyone

2. Wire Transfer

  • Works for countries that don’t support EFT
  • Usually includes bank fees
  • Faster than checks

3. Checks (Less Common Today)

  • Sent by mail
  • Slow processing
  • Bank may charge additional deposit fees

4. Western Union (being phased out but available in some regions)

  • Instant pickup
  • No bank account required
  • Limited availability


How to Add or Set Up Your AdSense Payment Method

This is where you tell Google where to send your money.

Step 1: Go to Your AdSense Dashboard
Log into your account and click on Payments on the left sidebar.

Step 2: Click “Add Payment Method”
Based on your country, you’ll see the available payment types.

Step 3: Enter Your Bank Details
For bank transfers, you’ll need:
  • Account holder name
  • Bank name
  • Account number
  • SWIFT/BIC code (for international banks)

Step 4: Set It as Your Primary Payment Method
Make sure your preferred method is marked as “PRIMARY.”

Step 5: Verify Your Bank (if required)
Some countries require a small test deposit from Google (like $0.10) that you must confirm.
And that’s it! Now your AdSense account is ready to receive money.



How to Withdraw Money From AdSense (The Real Process)

1. Payment Cycle Explained
Google processes payments between the 21st and 26th of every month. For example:
  • If you reach the $100 threshold in January,
  • You’ll get paid around February 21–26.
Easy, right?

2. What Happens on Payment Day
Here’s the flow:
