How often will I receive royalty payments?

At MRM, we ensure that you receive royalty payments regularly, typically on a quarterly basis. However, it’s important to understand that your royalties come from various sources, each with its own payment schedule:

1. Platform Royalties: Revenue from digital streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and others is distributed quarterly. We collect this revenue on your behalf and provide detailed statements that outline your earnings from these platforms.

2. Performance Royalties: These are collected from performance rights organizations (PROs) like IPRS in India or international equivalents. These payments are usually distributed semi-annually, depending on the PRO’s schedule. The timeline can vary based on the country and the organization involved.

3. Mechanical Royalties: Mechanical royalties, collected from physical and digital sales, also follow different schedules, depending on the agreements with collection societies or digital platforms. These are typically paid out quarterly or semi-annually, depending on the collection society’s policies.

4. Synchronization and Other Royalties: Royalties from sync licenses (for the use of music in film, TV, ads, etc.) are often paid on a case-by-case basis, depending on when the license is used and the specific contract terms.

Each revenue source has its own timeline, and we work diligently to ensure that all collected royalties, no matter the source, are accounted for and distributed to you as soon as they are available.

Our aim is to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of your revenue streams through clear and detailed statements, so you always know where your earnings are coming from and when to expect them.
