# Payout was a different amount than expected

### Why your payout amount may be different than expected
[Check the payout in your Dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/payouts) to see all transactions included in an automatic payout. There are various reasons that the amount might be different to what you were expecting, such as:
* Your [payout schedule](https://stripe.com/docs/payouts#payout-schedule) has changed and thus a different group of transactions are being paid out in accordance with that new schedule.
* Transactions might not be included because they were processed after the [00:00 UTC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time) cut-off for payout creation.
  * For accounts located in APAC, see [Default Start of Day for Asia-Pacific (APAC) Payouts](/questions/default-start-of-day-for-asia-pacific-%28apac%29-payouts)
* [Refunds](https://stripe.com/docs/refunds) and/or [disputes](https://docs.stripe.com/disputes/how-disputes-work#dispute-fees) impacted the balance.
* You may have a temporary reserve on your Stripe account. Stripe will proactively communicate the reason for the temporary reserve to the Stripe account holder.
  * What are reserves?
  * Check reserve status from Dashboard 
### Why the amount received may be different than expected
Your bank may have deducted fees from your payout, such as transfer fees, foreign transaction fees or overdraft fees. Stripe will not have visibility into any bank fees. Contact your bank if the amount received does not equal the payout amount.
