# Contributor Stipends for 2026

Stipends are paid in two parts, one after each successful evaluation. The
dates below are based on the standard 12 week project. If your project is
longer, your evaluation and payments schedule will be different. The first
evaluation will occur at the halfway point of your project (e.g. For a 16
week project the evaluation will occur after week 8). You can also check
your GSoC dashboard to view when your evaluations occur.

- First Evaluation (paid July 11): 45%
- Final Evaluation (paid September 1): 55%

Stipend [amounts](https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/student-stipends#total_stipend_amount) are calculated based on your location.

How is my location determined?
:   Your location is determined by the country where you are residing during
    the GSoC 2026 coding period.

How are the stipend amounts determined?

:   We are using a Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) based calculation to
    determine the stipend.

:   For medium sized projects: We start with a base amount of 3000 USD and
    then adjust it based on each country's PPP value. There is a minimum (1500
    USD) and maximum (3300 USD) stipend amount.

:   For large sized projects: We start with a base amount of 6000 USD and then
    adjust it based on each country's PPP value. There is a minimum (3000 USD)
    and maximum (6600 USD) stipend amount.

:   For small sized projects: Google starts with a base amount of 1500 USD and
    then adjust it based on each country's PPP value. There is a minimum (750
    USD) and maximum (1650 USD) stipend amount.

What is Purchasing Power Parity? (PPP)

:   Purchasing Power Parity is a way to estimate the exchange rate between two
    currencies to determine equivalent purchasing power.

If I don't see my country listed, can I still be paid?

:   Our global payment provider, Payoneer, services 190+ countries around the
    world. If you don't see your country listed below, you are not eligible to
    receive a payment for your participation in GSoC.
