Understanding your dashboard

Your Earnings dashboard brings every stream, sale and view into one place. Here is how to read it. The headline stats - Total Revenue - all your income across sources for the selected period. - Total Streams - subscription streaming plays (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and so on). This excludes YouTube and ad-supported views. - Total Sales - downloads. - Video Views - ad-revenue and video plays, with the revenue they earned. - Avg Per Stream - average revenue per stream. - Countries - how many countries earned you revenue. Filters Narrow the view by date range, stores (main stores, downloads, meta) and region (Europe, North America, and so on). Tables and timeline Below the stats you get your top tracks, releases, stores, countries and videos, plus a timeline of revenue and quantity month by month. Your share If you collaborate on a song, the dashboard already shows your share of that song's revenue, not the full amount. A 50/50 track shows your half. Export Use Export to download your royalty line items or YouTube links as CSV.

Your wallet and how you get paid

Wallet shows what you have earned, what has been paid, and your current balance. You are paid in EUR Your balance and payouts are in EUR, because that is how we pay you. Amounts are shown in EUR throughout the wallet. Why "total earned" can differ from your EUR balance Distribution statements arrive in USD. Each month, when we close the accounting, we lock the EUR conversion at the real exchange rate that applied then. Because rates move, the running USD total and your locked EUR balance will not match exactly. This is normal. Automatic monthly payouts Our payout threshold is shown in the wallet. Each month we automatically pay every artist whose balance is over the threshold, so in most cases you do not need to do anything. Request a payout yourself Prefer to be paid now? See "Requesting a payout". Revenue by source Your wallet breaks earnings into: - Streams - distribution statements (streaming, downloads, ad, video, radio, licensing). - Fatstep Sales - direct sales on Fatstep. - Licences - your direct Fatstep licences. - Payments received - what has already been paid to you.

Requesting a payout

Even though payouts run automatically, you can ask to be paid whenever you like. How In Wallet, click Request payment and confirm. The rules - We pay automatically each month for any balance over the payout threshold, so you may not need to request at all. - You can request a payout anytime, as long as your balance is at least the stated minimum. The minimum exists to cover the transfer fees. - When your balance is eligible, the wallet shows "Eligible to request a payout". After you request The wallet shows "Payout requested on {date}" and you will be paid in a few days. There is nothing else to do. If a request fails or you see a network error, wait a moment and try again. If it keeps failing, message the team.

Why your numbers change over time

If your most recent weeks look light and then grow, that is expected. Platforms report on a delay Stores and streaming services send us statements on their own schedule, often weeks after the plays happened. Your dashboard keeps itself current as each new statement lands, so recent periods fill in over time. "Latest full month" on Home The stats card on your Home page shows the most recent month with almost-complete data, precisely so you are looking at a reliable number rather than a half-reported one. What this means for you - Do not judge a new release by its first few days in the dashboard. Give the data time to arrive. - Older months are stable. Recent weeks are still catching up. - The footer shows when stats were last updated. Nothing is lost in the meantime. Every stream is counted once its statement is processed.
