Royalty reporting schedule

When we post statements each month, when your first one arrives, and why a store may report late.

We post a new statement every month, on or around the 15th. You’ll get a notification in your account when it’s ready. If the 15th is a weekend or public holiday, we post it on the next business day.

Statement dates

A statement is named after the month it’s posted and covers plays from about 3 months earlier.

These dates are estimates. We can only add earnings once we’ve received both the royalty report and the payment from a store, and we can’t post a statement before its date. Some stores report quarterly or less often. A store that reports late goes into the next statement.

Payouts are separate from statements. See Automatic and manual payouts.

Your first statement

Your first statement generally arrives 3 months after the release date of your first release. Stores take around 3 months to send us their reports and the money.
