Payments: Payment Schedule

Print
Your account receives revenue from two different types of advertising. One type is served by Google AdSense and the second is served by YouTube. Because of this, you will see two earnings entries per month within your AdSense Payment History.

One entry will include earnings from AdSense for Content Host and any other Google AdSense product you may use. These earnings will post to your AdSense account within 30 days after the end of each month.

The second entry will include earnings from YouTube and will post to your AdSense account between 30-60 days after the end of every month. For example, your September YouTube earnings will post to your AdSense account by the end of November.

Because of this posting schedule, once you have bypassed the AdSense earnings thresholds, your total monthly earnings will be split between your monthly AdSense payments. For example, your December AdSense payment will include your AdSense earnings from November plus your YouTube earnings from October. Likewise, your January AdSense payment will include your AdSense earnings from December and your YouTube earnings from November. Please reference the below YouTube/AdSense payment schedule.


YouTube/AdSense Payment Schedule
Payment Month = AdSense Earnings + YouTube Earnings
January December November
February January December
March February January
April March February
May April March
June May April
July June May
August July June
September August July
October September August
November October September
December November October
