My Earnings FAQ

What are My Earnings?

When your tracks are successfully submitted to DSPs, you have earnings each time your tracks are played. What you see as your Earnings on BandLab is the collective amount owed to you for distribution. The Earnings dashboard displays the current balance yet to be paid to you, along with past successful payouts.

How do I claim my Earnings?
All you need to do is link a Payout Method for your BandLab account. You'll find more information about getting paid on BandLab here
Why does the color of my Earnings Balance change every now and then?
The different colors represent the payout status of your current balance:

When do I get paid?
Earnings are paid out within the 2nd half of every month and delayed by 3 months, e.g., January earnings are paid in April, February earnings are paid in May, and March earnings are paid in June. BandLab does not hold onto your earnings but merely consolidates them from all DSPs before paying them out. 

In the event of any issues with payouts, your balance will be moved to the following month's processing batch.

There may be a maximum payout limit in certain countries. Your earnings will be divided and sent in multiple payments if this limit is reached.
My tracks are played on various DSPs. Why do My Earnings still show $0.00?
The Earnings dashboard is not updated after each play. Various processes are involved before your earnings are reported back to us, so they can take some time to be reflected on your My Earnings dashboard. Your balance will be displayed once we've received and consolidated your earnings across all DSPs.
