How Much Money Can You Really Make from The Agency in GTA Online?
As a seasoned GTA fanatic, I‘ve been eager to share up-to-date details on the earning potential of GTA Online‘s exciting new The Contract addition: The Agency Property. With access to VIP Contracts, payphone hits, and a built-in passive income generator, there‘s serious money to be made…but exactly how much? Let‘s crunch the numbers!
The Baseline: Starting Agency Income
After purchasing an agency property from Dynasty Executive 8, you‘ll get access to your agency computer terminal. Here you can take on various missions, but importantly, watch your daily safe income start accumulating.
A brand new agency begins generating $250 per in-game day, or about $9,000 per real-life hour (based on 48 minute days).
Through completing security contracts you can boost this number all the way up to $20,000 per in-game day, or $720,000 per RL hour!
Now, that huge potential maximum daily income takes some grinding to unlock (201 security contracts!), but even early on, $250 per day supplies a solid passive revenue stream in between active money-making.
Which GTA Online Agency Location is Best?
With agencies priced from $2 to $2.3 million, location matters! Based on accessibility, views, amenities and prestige potential, I‘ve analyzed each available property to determine the best bang for your buck:
| Location | Price | Rating | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hawick (La Puerta) | $2,010,000 | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Luxurious corporate HQ vibes. Great access located right off Olympic Freeway. Impressive views of the city. |
| Rockford Hills | $2,145,000 | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Super classy exterior in one of LA’s elite neighborhoods. Top views of cityscape and Golf Club. Near Vinewood Bowl for events. |
| Little Seoul | $2,830,000 | ⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Sleek modern buildng with neon flourishes. On peaceful resort island location. Solid highway access. |
| Vespucci Canals | $2,150,000 | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Great low-cost starter agency with waterfront location. Close driving distance to downtown and bridges. |
| Rockford Drive | $2,220,000 | ⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Beachfront views on Banham Canyon ridge. Long driveway provides security benefits. Close to Casino and racetrack. |
| Burton | $2,145,000 | ⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Graffitied exterior and grungy environs, but very central location near major highways. |
Based on the views, amenities, access and prestige offered, I‘d have to crown Hawick as best-in-class. Of course Rockford Hills and Vespucci Canals offer great alternatives depending on player preference and budget.
Maximizing Passive Income from Your Agency
As mentioned at the outset, newly established agencies will generate a baseline rate of $250 per in-game day of passive income. But the key to maximizing your criminal riches lies in completing contracts to boost that number.
Each new contract completed permanently increases your daily revenue by $100
Major milestone boosts occur every 5 contracts, providing an extra $500 daily
At 201 total contracts complete, your potential capped daily income reaches $20,000
See the math on how your income scales:
| # Contracts Completed | Milestone Bonus | Total Potential Daily Income |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | – | $250 |
| 5 | $500 | $1,000 |
| 10 | – | $1,500 |
| 15 | $500 | $3,000 |
| 20 | – | $4,000 |
| … | … | … |
| 200 | $500 | $19,500 |
| 201 | – | $20,000 (Max) |
With focused grinding, you can complete 5-10 security contracts per hour, meaning maxing out your income potential in 25-50 hours of gameplay. That‘s a serious revenue stream!
Additional Agency Income Opportunities
Beyond the lucrative safe income, your agency also provides plenty of active ways to stack GTA dollars:
Payphone Hits
These quick assassination/vehicle destruction missions pay $15k-$90k each, varying on difficulty level. Based on an average payout of $50k and estimating 4 payphone hits per hour, you could tally ~$1.4 million per week from these alone!
Customer Files
Browse potential clients and opportunities via laptop. On request, Franklin will source exotic vehicles, contract killers and other legally ambiguous services for your customers…for the right GTA dollar figure of course!
Confiscated Weapons
Recovered contraband weapons stacked up in your agency armory can be sold for instant cash injections when needed.
Armory Weapon Upgrades
Your new on-site armory workshop lets you customize weapons with deadly modifications that come in handy on contracts.
Security Contracts
These mission lines involve discreetly solving problems for a roster of high-profile celebrities, execs and tycoons in Los Santos. Solid payouts per contract, plus unlocking the above mentioned passive income gains.
So for any ambitious criminal looking to expand their empire, the Agency is an absolute must-buy! Whether through active gameplay or passive safe revenue, you‘ll build serious wealth in no time. Feel free to reach out with any other GTA questions!
