Overview

Cash is the in-game currency of Jailbreak. It is used for buying vehicles, vehicle customizations, safes, some weapons, and some weapon skins. Players can also drop cash to donate to friends or bribe Police officers. When players first join Jailbreak, they will receive $3,000 in-game. Players cannot earn "negative cash", as there are no purchases that can do so. You simply can't afford it, or for the case of Houses & Apartments, will simply not auto-renew.

There are several ways to gain cash:

A daily paycheck (5:00 AM in-game). (As of the Balance Update, police get extra cash from their arrests, not getting pickpocketed, and owning the SWAT gamepass.)
Arresting criminals and guilty prisoners, and collecting their bounty (if they have one).
Successfully robbing the Donut Shop, Cargo Ship, Gas Station 1, Bank, Cargo Train, Passenger Train, Jewelry Store, Museum, Power Plant, Cargo Plane, Cash Truck and the Tomb.
Successfully protecting the Cargo Ship and Passenger Train robberies.
Delivering cash from the Cash Truck.
Winning a Gamemode. (removed)
Purchasing cash with Robux.
Picking up dropped cash/accepting bribes.
Getting duplicate customization items from safes.
Picking up an Airdrop Briefcase.
Extinguishing a fire.
Redeeming certain valid codes at the ATM.
Deploying a Road Spike and collecting 10% of criminal's bounty (if they have one) if they drive over it.
Reach Level 7 in the current season system. (Season Pass, Seasons 1, 2, 3 only)
Stealing cash inside safes during raids inside Houses & Apartments and houses.

There are several ways to lose cash:

Arrest an innocent prisoner.
Spend on Vehicles, Weapons, Gun Skins,Items, Safes, Levels and Houses & Apartments.
Drop/Donate Cash to others.
Money reset due to being caught cheating or exploiting.
Having cash stolen from an exploiter. (This is rare)

Paychecks vary as a Criminal as the paycheck is based on their bounty. They get $50 every in-game day at first, but this increases as the criminal gets a higher bounty. For Police, their base pay is $1200 ($1440 with VIP, $1640 with SWAT and VIP.) Police can also increase their paychecks by arresting more criminals and guilty prisoners, not getting pickpocketed, and owning the SWAT gamepass.

They can also pick up dropped cash by other players, whether it's to take a bribe as a police, if it's a friend giving it to them, or if somebody randomly drops it. Cash can be dropped by clicking the cash GUI on the left, and in the bottom right corner players can enter the amount they want to drop. After selecting the amount, press the "Drop" button to drop the cash.

If a police picks up money from a player, they have to wait 45 seconds before arresting any Criminal or guilty Prisoner, thus being bribed. The minimum amount of money players can give to other players is $200, while the maximum amount of money they can give to other players at once is $20,000. The maximum amount of money they can drop every 24 real-life hours is $50,000.

Trivia

Every time a VIP Gamepass owner makes money, they get 20% more (except when receiving donated cash from other players, getting duplicate items from safes, receiving money from Airdrop Briefcases, and extinguishing Fires, to prevent duplicating money you already have).
Rocket Fuel cannot be bought by Jailbreak cash. Only Robux can be used to purchase Rocket Fuel.
Criminals can make 2x times more cash in robberies (when they collect the maximum amount) if they own a Tier 4 Bigger Duffel Bag Gamepass.
Cash can be wiped off a Jailbreak player's account if they are caught cheating/exploiting.
In late November 2017, cash was on sale for a limited time for 20% off during Black Friday Week, if players wanted to buy cash with Robux. However, players still thought it was overpriced.
Players receive half the cash of the safe's cost if they open a safe with an item they already own. For example, if a player receives an item they already have from a Vault Safe ($30,000), they will receive half of the Vault's cost ($15,000).
Police receive an automatic $1,200 cash for their daily paycheck, plus cash from other factors, unlike criminals, which only receive $50 plus 5% of their bounty. Criminals can receive a maximum paycheck of $300 cash ($360 if VIP) if they have at least a $5,000 cash bounty.
Before the update that brought cash dropping was published in the game, asimo3089 denied that the cash model was indeed the one used in the game. This was later proven wrong.
Criminal paycheck raises by approximately $13 for every $250 bounty gained, yet that rate flats out at a $3000 bounty.
Cash prices have fluctuated over time, by simply getting cheaper.
Dropped cash follows rules of physics. This means it will slide down slopes and can be moved by crawling players.
The richest player in Jailbreak is L_iiaa with 1.1 Billion cash so far.
- More impressively, L_iiaa plays on mobile, which is difficult for many players and more lag can be experienced because of weaker processors. She has her own spaceship, with many unknown stats.
- It's also rumoured that Jailbreak developer Badcc currently has almost two billion cash in 2019, though it's likely that he gave it to himself with commands.
  - The developers have also been spotted carrying a few hundred million and 1 billion cash as well.
  - At most of the times, the developers mostly carry a few to 20 million cash.
It is unknown how many digits of cash that the game can fit in the player list, or the Top Criminals (Most Wanted) Board in the prison police stations.
- Roblox has found this issue and revamped the leaderboard, making that if you have a million cash, the leaderboard would show $1M instead of $1,000,000.
It's impossible to have negative cash. This might have been a thing in the game as "debt", but that would likely deter players. The only possible way to have gotten negative cash would be to have owned an apartment that kept being payed for, but was changed.
If a user drops cash and it isn't picked up by anybody in 20 minutes, the cash will be refunded to whoever dropped it and the dropped cash will disappear.
Players used to be able to get $2,000 ($2,400 with VIP gamepass) if they completed a daily Mission. However in the Nukes update, this has been removed.
