It varies per blood bank, but the average is about $200 or can be as high as $400 per month if you make all your appointments. The money varies on the blood banks supply and demand ratio.

Really? They pay you guys? I live in Australia, and we don't get paid anything for blood or plasma. We get a milkshake and chocolate and leave with the satisfaction of doing something good for another person. Although, that said, people don't pay for blood transfusions either. Thank god for Medicare!

To respond to those from outside the U.S., Americans can simply donate blood to the Red Cross, but you can also sell plasma. Blood is taken from your arm, the plasma is taken out, and then blood is put back in. I hear that the plasma is used for testing things like cosmetics. So, decidedly less noble, but a way to make money. Do you not have plasma centers in the U.K. or Australia?
