Your royalty model depends on the plan attached to your distribution account. “Distributable royalties” means the amount available for allocation under the applicable plan and agreement.

Current royalty models

  • No-upfront Independent Artist: the artist receives 70%; Indigenous Tunes receives 30%.
  • No-upfront Record Label: the label receives 60%; Indigenous Tunes receives 40%.
  • Annual distribution plans: the customer currently retains 100% of distributable royalties.
