# Why is my payment less than I quoted?

Thanks for completing a quoted job!

If you are wondering why your payment didn’t line up with your quoted amount, there are a few things to consider:

1. **12% Lula Fee** — A flat 12% fee applies to every job on Lula’s platform, even quotes. If you quoted $100, then your payout would be $88.

2. **Diagnosis Fee** — If you went out and provided a diagnosis before the quote, you would have received a $75 diagnosis payment (licensed trades only). If the quote is eventually approved, the $75 payment is deducted from the payment amount. Keep the diagnosis amount in mind when you are creating your quotes!

3. **Other Fees** — If you have any prior no-shows or background check fees pending on your account, then that will deduct from your payment.
