# Profits & Payouts
> With the **Agency Profits & Payouts** feature, Agencies using the thinkrr Voice AI platform can unlock a new revenue stream by earning profits on minutes purchased by their Sub-accounts.
## Overview
By applying a custom markup to minutes, Agencies can earn the difference between the thinkrr.ai base cost and the sale price. Payouts are securely processed through Stripe, making it easy for Agencies to withdraw their earnings once they reach the payout threshold. Let’s explore how this works and how you can get started.
## Details
**How Agency Profits Work**
Agencies have the ability to set a custom **per-minute markup** on minutes purchased by their Sub-accounts. When a Sub-account buys minutes through thinkrr, the agency earns the difference between the **thinkrr.ai base cost** and the **agency-defined price**. These earnings are accumulated as **agency profits** and are paid out once they reach a minimum threshold of **USD\$100.**
Example:
* thinkrr.ai Base Cost: \$0.16 per minute
* Agency Price: \$0.20 per minute
* Profit per minute: $0.04. If a Sub-account buys **2,000 minutes**, the agency earns **$80 in profit.\*\*
> Bulk minutes are always Premium minutes and are billed at the Premium rate.
Payouts are processed through **Stripe Connect**, ensuring fast and secure transactions directly to the agency’s bank account.
