On the first row, you'll be able to see 3 fields.
Upcoming Payout:
The soonest payout you should expect to be generated and received. It contains all the payments cleared on or before the payout date. Also known as your refundable balance.
You may check to see the summary of your payouts by clicking the blue "x transactions" below the total amount.
You can also check the number of payments within the payout!
