This week in GTA Online (October 15 to 21, 2026): Halloween week three keeps the one multiplier the calculator tracks: Standard and Most Wanted Bail Office targets still pay 2X GTA$ and RP through October, so Bail Office bounty hunting runs at GTA$160,000 an hour instead of GTA$80,000, which lifts it from 15th to 10th of 23, level with Vehicle Cargo. The bigger money this week is flat bonuses. Finishing Don't F*** With Dre, the finale of The Contract, before October 21 pays an extra GTA$500,000. The Kortz Center Heist rotates in new primary targets, resets its first-completion bonus and adds GTA$400,000 for a run without dying, so Art Studio owners get another full-value first run. The weekly challenge, win three races, pays GTA$100,000 and counts toward the GTA$2,000,000 for clearing every October challenge by November 4, and the races it asks for pay 3X this week. Agencies stay 40% off. The 3X on Slasher, Survivals and the race series is real money if you enjoy those modes, but none of it has a published payout per hour, so it stays off the rankings.

Events and freebies
Turn this week’s bonuses into a route
Reading a bonus list is not a plan. The Session Planner takes tonight’s session length and what you own, then orders the highest-paying blocks around cooldowns and weekly caps, with this week’s boosts applied on top of the same published net $/hr rates as the calculator.
That is step 1 of 2. The full planner orders your whole session around what you own, fills every cooldown, applies this week’s bonuses, and layers your passive income on top.
