How PAID Payouts Work

Once your revenue appears in your Available Balance, it’s ready for payout.

Here’s the step-by-step timeline from ad impression to payout:

• Ad is played: an ad is dynamically inserted and played in one of your podcast episodes.
• Estimated Balance (after 3 days): around 3 days later, the revenue from that ad appears in your Estimated Balance. This is your preliminary earnings, updated daily at 12:40 PM UTC.
• Available Balance (after up to 60 days): after internal checks and validation (including fraud checks and reporting from ad partners), your revenue is finalized and moves to your Available Balance. This can take up to 60 days, depending on advertiser processing times.
• Automatic Monthly Payouts: at the end of each month, we automatically send a payout if your Available Balance is at least $1 USD. You don’t need to request it, it happens automatically.
• Special Case December: every December, we pay out all Available Balances, even if they are below the $1 threshold. 

This ensures you receive your earnings before the end of the year.

Recap Example

• July 1: An ad is played
• July 4: Revenue appears in Estimated Balance
• By early September: Revenue moves to Available Balance
• September 30: If balance is ≥ $1, payout is issued
