GTA Online Cayo Perico heist payout: Maximum and Solo amount
Grand Theft Auto Online’s Cayo Perico Heist event can earn you big money, and we’ve got the first, solo, and maximum payouts.

GTA Online’s heists are a great way to earn cash, but figuring out how much you can make can be difficult. If you’re struggling to come up with a number, here are the maximum and solo payouts from GTA Online’s Cayo Perico heist.
The Cayo Perico heist became one of GTA Online’s most hyped patches, taking players to a brand-new island to commit crimes and boost their bank balance. From the Perico Pistol to the $1.9 million Panther statue, there’s plenty to do once you’ve finished your nefarious activities too.
If you want to live the high life in Los Santos, you need cash — and lots of it. Doing heists can be a great way to add an extra zero to your bank balance, but it requires some hard work.
Figuring out if a heist is worth the effort can be tough, especially in the Cayo Perico heist, where the total payout is a little confusing. Thankfully, we’ve got everything you need to find out how much money you can make.

Complete this task, and Martin Madrazo will pay you $1.1 million, which isn’t bad for a day’s work. You will need to pay Pavel $22,000 though, who will be helping you from his submarine underwater.
With that in mind, you’ll earn $1,078,000 for your first successful Cayo Perico heist.

GTA Online Cayo Perico heist solo payout
To complete most heists in GTA Online, you need a four-player squad. Cayo Perico is different, as it’s the first heist to let players take it on as a solo player, start to finish.
Going it alone will obviously make the heist even more difficult, but you won’t need to share any of the total take with anyone else.
