Find Requesters Worth Working With
Using data shared by some of the most experienced workers on MTurk users can gain insights into HITs that pay well and are safe to work on. Our users maintain some of the highest standards on the platform, most holding over a 99.5% approval rate, meaning HITs that appear here will pay out when completed properly.
time estimatefor first session (this hit) was accurate
There are 3 main sessions of the study: 1. today (Week 1), 2. Week 3, and 3. Week 5. You will be paid each time you complete a session. You will receive an additional $5 once you have completed all 3 main sessions.
Each time you complete a session you will receive a guaranteed base payment for your participation. In addition to the base payment, in each session you will have the opportunity to earn multiple additional bonus payments. The exact amount of those additional bonus payments depends on your choices, and sometimes also the choices of others and chance
After you finish today's session, your total payment (consisting of your base payment and all bonus payments) will be transferred to your MTurk account. The total payment for today will be between $10 and $15, with an average of around $12.5.
with bonus payments this could be decent will update when I get the bonus says todays will be paid in 72 hours
The Advantage of a Clear View
TurkerView is designed to bridge the gap between workers & requesters through data & communication.
Wage Aggregate Tracking
This is fairly straightforward: we take the completion time & the reward amount (where available) and calculate the average hourly rate for the task. We then apply that number to a simple range based on US minimum wage standards to color-code the data for easy to digest numerical data.
| Color | Pay Range (Hourly) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| RED | < $7.25 / hr | Hourly averages below US Federal minimum wage |
| ORANGE | $7.25 - $10.00 / hr | Hourly averages between Federal & highest statewide (CA) minimum wages. |
| GREEN | > $10.00 / hr | Hourly averages above all US minimum wage standards |
Reward Sentiment
Not all HITs are created equal. Sometimes an hourly wage doesn't convey the full story of a HIT's true worth, so we encourage workers to give their opinion on the overall pay of the task. Was it $8/hr to rate pictures of puppies? A worker could justifiably bump up the rating a bit for something so adorable. 10 hours locked in Inquisit? Even for $10/hr many workers would appreciate the heads up on such a task. The Pay Sentiment rating helps connect workers beyond the hard data.

Communication Ratings
Communication is an underrated aspect of mTurk. Clear, concise directions. A fast response to a clarification question or a resolution to a workflow suggestion can all be valuable aspects of interaction between Requesters & Workers and its worth keeping track of. Plus everyone enjoys the peace of mind knowing that if something does go wrong there will be an actual human getting back to you to solve the issue.

Approval Time Tracking
This rating is strictly for approval times. Let's face it, no one wants to mix approval time ratings with how fast a Requester rejects a HIT, so we've saved rejection flags for another category. This provides a more straightforward way to know about how long your HIT might sit pending before paying out. The default auto-approval for most MTurk tasks is 3 days, the maximum is 30 days. We've tried to base our ratings around those data-points.
| Icon | Rating | Approval Time |
|---|---|---|
| Very Slow 1 / 5 | Over 2 weeks | |
| Slow 2 / 5 | ~1 - 2 Weeks | |
| Average 3 / 5 | ~3 - 7 Days | |
| Fast 4 / 5 | ~1 - 3 Days | |
| Very Fast 5 / 5 | ~24 hours or less |
