How do I get paid for my publishing royalties?

You collect your royalties from PROs after your account has been created (following your approval on our end). PROs receives royalties according to individual societies’ distribution schedules. PROs processes these royalties, and distributes them to your account on a quarterly basis.

Standard Royalty Quarters and Payments:
1Q: Jan-March
2Q: April-June
3Q: July-Sept
4Q: Oct-Dec

*It typically takes 9-12 months to receive your first royalty payment if you are receiving from songtrust.

*BMI payments are only received 3 quarters of the year.

*Some royalties, such as those for audiovisual uses, are subject to separate distribution cycles (occur less frequently).

*Account adjustments do occur in some cases.
