How much do you pay in Daily Fees in GTA Online? A lot? You're not alone. But you probably want to figure out why you're getting charged those fees, and exactly what you're paying for.
This article breaks down the daily fee structure that we have in the GTA Online world. The guide is updated to 2020 and is divided based on the properties available to purchase.
Depending on which properties you own, how many you have, and what upgrades you applied, you can do the breakdown of your personal daily fees with the help of this list. This will help you figure out exactly how much you're paying for and why.
At the end of the list, we also have some best practices followed by veteran players to avoid losing a lot of money while paying the daily fees.
What are Daily Fees in GTA Online?
Daily Maintenance Fees are charges that are deducted automatically in GTA Online each in-game day, for services provided by the properties a player owns. Every garage you own (even if it’s empty) can be serviced by the Mechanic that will bring vehicles to you and repair them for free once you store them or call for a delivery.
Each property you own has fees based on its service and/or its staff. Those fees vary based on upgrades or options. Owning a significant number of properties, especially MC Businesses, can accrue a hefty sum.
Some fees are charged no matter what you’re doing. Some are only charged if you are registered as a CEO or MC President. All of the fees are listed as 'Spent on property and utilities' in the Maze Bank transaction log.
When are Daily Fees charged?
The GTA Online fees are charged every 48 minutes (one in-game day) that you are in the same lobby.
Fees that are exclusive to being a CEO or MC President won’t be charged if you aren’t registered as either a CEO or MC President - but will be charged immediately if you register as one if you have been in the same lobby for 48 minutes or longer.
So here we go with the list of all the Daily Fees in GTA Online, including costs for all the properties and their respective upgrades:

Maximum Total Daily Fees Charged in GTA Online
If you own every property and business and you've applied all the upgrades (plus you're registered as a MC President), the total Daily Fees in GTA Online can reach the massive sum of $50,100.
That's right, over 50k of standard maintenance fees and utility charges, automatically charged every in-game day! Quite a lot.
Maybe we should look at a few tips and tricks that can help us avoid these fees.
How to avoid Daily Fees in GTA Online?
Can you avoid paying for the Daily Fees in GTA Online? The answer is yes, it is possible to avoid them.
The simplest method, even if inconvenient, is to change lobbies before 48 minutes have elapsed. If you enter a new lobby, that unseen timer is reset.
If you don’t want to change lobbies, you can unregister as a CEO or MC President and nat least not be charged those specific fees - but you will still pay the regular ones every 48 minutes.
Another method is to be in a mission, race, or other non-freeroam activity, as the timer does not apply there.
Avoiding Daily Fees while AFK
If you use methods to be in the game, but inactive, in order to let passive-income businesses accrue value, there are some methods (using security monitors) that keep you in the lobby are still subject to fees.
For short-terms, or if the fees you are subject to are small or relatively insignificant, this is fine and more convenient. But for longer periods of time the accrued fees can exceed the value your businesses are earning.
Instead, using the Television inside a residential property while on an untimed mission can let you stay AFK as long as you want, while not paying any fees during that time; with a bonus of the mission’s reward money upon completion at the end.
That is basically about it! The more you know, right? Let us know what you think about the daily expenses and if you have any additional tips to share.
Contact missions are similar to the story missions and the strangers and freaks missions in GTA 5, except that their accomplishment isn’t estimated in percentage and in most cases they don’t have a common plot. At the start of the game, only a few of these missions are available. As the player’s rank increases, new ones are opened.
