Understanding the royalties and payment structure of Prime Video is essential for content creators aiming to monetize their work effectively. Here's a comprehensive overview:
1. Payment Schedule
Prime Video issues payments approximately 90 days after the end of the month in which the revenue event occurred.
2. Payment Methods
Royalties are paid electronically to the bank account information you provide. For supported locations, see Supported bank locations.
3. Currency and Conversion
Customers pay in their local currencies, but royalties are paid in the default currency of your bank account’s location (except Brazil). For example, if your bank account is in Germany, and a customer in the United States purchases one of your titles, the customer’s US Dollars payment is converted to Euros and deposited as Euros in your German bank account.
4. Compensation Details
Payments are based on how and where your titles are offered through Prime Video. For instance, content providers receive 50% of net revenue for titles that are available to buy or rent.
5. Minimum Payment Thresholds
For wire transfers, Amazon may withhold payment until you have reached a minimum threshold in accrued license fees for the applicable local marketplace. The minimum thresholds are:
- Amazon.com: $100
- Amazon.co.uk: £100
- Amazon.eu: €100
- Amazon.co.jp: ¥10,000
If your earnings fall below the threshold for wire payments, Amazon will keep a running total and issue payment after the amount exceeds the minimum threshold.
6. Tax Information
Before distributing videos and receiving payments, you must provide tax information to Amazon to comply with local tax regulations. A secure tax questionnaire enables you to submit required tax information.
7. Reporting and Invoices
Prime Video Direct provides a dashboard where you can review title performance, earnings, and payment history. Reports are available for up to 24 months and can be exported to a comma-separated value (CSV) file format for use in popular spreadsheet applications.
By familiarizing yourself with these aspects, you can effectively manage your earnings and ensure timely payments from Prime Video.
