How do reward amounts vary over time for countries outside of the US?

Ethnio is based in California, so incentives issued to all other countries use exchange rates that change daily. For global incentive orders, there are also minimum and maximum amounts for all payment methods, and as an exchange rate changes, the min or max might need adjusting.

The currency exchange rate is calculated at the time when each recipient chooses their reward. That means that if you issue a $100 reward, someone in France could see it as 100EUR on Monday, but then someone else in France could see 99EUR that Friday. You can see how USD varies over time against common international currencies:

For help calculating the right amount to pay incentives in every country around the world, check out the cost of living and rounding options in our free Incentive Calculator. It doesn't do anything in your incentive order, but it's based on the cost of groceries in each country, and of course it's entirely up to you to decide how much to pay your participants.

We hope you pay your participants a lot, and pay them quickly, and sure we hope you pay them using Ethnio Incentives. But again this is only meant as a guide to considering research reward amounts in other countries.
