Payments: When Does DistroKid Pay Royalties?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You released your music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spotify is already showing streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So where is the money?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one of the most common questions musicians have when they start distributing music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DistroKid royalties don&#8217;t normally appear immediately after a stream takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several stages between somebody pressing play and money becoming available for withdrawal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When does DistroKid pay artists?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DistroKid says artists can typically expect earnings from the majority of streaming services around three months after a release starts generating streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That doesn&#8217;t mean DistroKid is simply holding the money for three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Streaming services themselves need time to calculate and report royalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to DistroKid, services commonly report earnings every one or two months, with those reports relating to streams or sales that happened several months earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are DistroKid royalties delayed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Music royalties have a reporting lag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine your song receives streams in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spotify or another streaming service first has to process activity across its entire platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It then calculates royalties and prepares reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That information is sent to distributors and rights holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The distributor then processes the data and allocates the relevant money to individual artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why streaming analytics can appear long before the corresponding royalty statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spotify for Artists is effectively showing you usage information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your distributor is showing you accounting information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those are not the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does DistroKid have a fixed payment day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DistroKid says streaming services don&#8217;t all report on the same day and there are no universal fixed payout dates from stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means money from Spotify might appear at a different time from Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music or another service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also means royalty reporting dates can move slightly from one month to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where do DistroKid royalties appear?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DistroKid earnings appear in the Bank section of your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This area shows earnings that have been reported and processed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DistroKid says artists can withdraw eligible earnings through the Bank page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you withdraw money from DistroKid?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once earnings are available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log into your DistroKid account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the Bank section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the amount available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure your payout details are configured.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select Withdraw Earnings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DistroKid uses Tipalti to provide payout options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Available methods can vary depending on your location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does a DistroKid withdrawal take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DistroKid says a submitted withdrawal can take up to 14 days to reach the selected account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DistroKid currently processes payout requests twice per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So don&#8217;t panic if money doesn&#8217;t arrive the day after you request it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The royalty becoming available in your DistroKid Bank and the money arriving in your real bank account are two different stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there a minimum DistroKid withdrawal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DistroKid currently says the withdrawal button may not appear unless you have enough earnings to meet its $6 minimum withdrawal amount and any applicable withdrawal fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That matters particularly for new artists generating small amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your Bank shows a few dollars but you cannot withdraw yet, the minimum threshold could be the reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there DistroKid withdrawal fees?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DistroKid says its payment processor Tipalti charges fees when artists withdraw money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact amount varies depending on the payout method and country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means the cheapest payout option can sometimes depend on where you live and how frequently you withdraw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If every withdrawal has a fixed cost, withdrawing lots of tiny amounts may be less economical than making fewer larger withdrawals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does DistroKid take a percentage of streaming royalties?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For normal streaming and download revenue, DistroKid says it passes through 100% of the earnings stores allocate to artists, minus applicable banking fees and taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are exceptions for particular optional services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, DistroKid&#8217;s Social Media Pack currently involves DistroKid retaining 20% of the revenue generated by that feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is separate from ordinary Spotify or Apple Music distribution earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why might some royalties take longer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every streaming service works on the same schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some services may report much less frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DistroKid says certain platforms can report only once or twice per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">YouTube reporting can also occasionally experience platform-specific delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The important thing is not to judge missing royalties purely from the fact that Spotify for Artists already displays streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about DistroKid Publishing royalties?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Publishing royalties are different again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DistroKid says an artist&#8217;s first payment through DistroKid Publishing can take approximately six to nine months because compositions need to be registered with collecting organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, publishing royalties are paid quarterly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is separate from master recording royalties generated through normal music distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is DistroKid slow at paying?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around three months between a stream and distributor reporting isn&#8217;t unusual in music distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The delay largely exists because streaming services account for royalties retrospectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artists should therefore distinguish between:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">when the stream happened<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">when the streaming service reports it<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">when the distributor processes it<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">when the money becomes withdrawable<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">and when the withdrawal reaches the artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those can all be different dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DistroKid payments FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does DistroKid take to pay?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DistroKid says earnings from the majority of services generally become visible around three months after a release starts generating streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does a DistroKid withdrawal take?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A withdrawal can take up to 14 days after it is requested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does DistroKid pay monthly?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There isn&#8217;t one universal monthly DistroKid payment date because streaming platforms report royalties on different schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the DistroKid minimum withdrawal?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DistroKid currently references a $6 minimum, together with enough balance to cover applicable withdrawal fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does DistroKid take royalties?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DistroKid says it doesn&#8217;t take a percentage of normal streaming or download earnings sent by stores. Certain optional services have separate revenue-share arrangements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You released your music. Spotify is already showing streams.
