According to support.google.com, AdSense payments for YouTube creators are issued on a monthly cycle, and payments are issued between the 21st and the 26th of the month following the month in which the earnings were accrued.
For example, earnings accrued in May will be paid out between the 21st and the 26th of June. However, if the 21st falls on a weekend or holiday, payments may be issued on the first business day following the 21st of that month.
The payment timeline for AdSense is as follows:
- The previous month’s estimated earnings are finalized and posted to your Payments page on the 3rd of the month.
- Changes to payment information (including removing payment holds) must be completed on or before the 20th of the month. Changes made after the 20th of any month won’t take effect until the following month’s payment cycle. Also, your total balance on the 20th must reach the payment threshold. If your balance does not meet the payment threshold or if you have a payment hold, you will not be paid that month and your balance will be rolled over to the following month.
- Check payments for your previous month’s earnings are issued between the 21st and the 26th of the month and can take as long as four weeks to arrive at your payment address.
- Western Union Quick Cash payments are sent between the 21st and the 26th of the month and will be available for pick up at any Western Union location in your country one business day after they’re issued.
- Wire transfer payments are initiated between the 21st and the 26th of the month. Allow up to 15 business days for the transfer to complete.
It is important to note that the exact time you receive your payment will depend on your timezone, whether the 21st falls on a weekend or holiday, and your chosen form of payment. Additionally, each payment account will need to reach the payment threshold, which could influence your disbursement timing.
Explains that YouTube AdSense payments are now separated from other AdSense payments, which means each has to hit the $100 payment threshold individually, and smaller payments may be paid out slower.
If a creator’s earnings are missing from their AdSense account, they should check their payment information and ensure that they have met the payment threshold for the previous month. If the earnings are still missing and the creator has completed their payment information, their overall income is above the payment threshold and due for more than 60 days.
And no issue is displayed in their AdSense dashboard, they can request a reissue from AdSense. wpadvancedads.com explains that AdSense earnings from the previous month are posted to the creator’s balance on their Payments page on the 3rd of the following month, and earnings may decrease after the month due to invalid clicks and impressions.
In summary, YouTube AdSense payments are issued on a monthly cycle, between the 21st and the 26th of the month following the month in which the earnings were accrued. Each payment account will need to reach the payment threshold individually.
