The amount you can earn for donating plasma varies depending on the donation center, location, and your donation frequency. Generally:

• New donors can earn up to around $700 in their first month by donating multiple times, with payments ranging from $50 to $60 per donation and additional bonuses for completing a series of donations within a set period

• Typical payment per donation ranges from $30 to $125, with higher pay often offered for the first several donations to encourage repeat visits

• Some centers, like CSL Plasma, offer up to $100 for the first donation and up to $700 total in the first month for new donors, with payments loaded onto a prepaid card immediately after donation

• After initial higher payments, the amount per donation usually decreases. For example, some donors report $60 per donation for the first five times, then a drop to $20 per donation afterward

• Platelet donations, which are related but different, can pay significantly more, around $240 per donation, due to higher demand

• In some places, donors receive up to $100 per donation regularly, with limits on how often you can donate (usually twice per week)

In summary, plasma donation can pay between $30 and $100+ per session, with potential bonuses for frequent donations, especially for new donors. Total earnings can exceed $700 in a month if donating frequently and qualifying for bonuses
