Royalties are paid to your designated account within five business days starting from the 20th of the second month following each month-end close. They are calculated monthly, based on the number of copies sold and product sales.
Example:
If a product launched for sale on October 15th, 2024...
Sales up to October 31st, 2024, will be paid within five business days starting from December 20th, 2024
Sales from November 1st, 2024, onward will be paid within five business days starting from January 20th, 2025
Royalties are subject to a transfer fee set by our company and withholding tax (applicable to all individual recipients, whether within or outside Japan, or when the recipient is a corporate entity outside Japan). Payments are made only if the net amount after these deductions exceeds 5000 JPY.
What fees will be deducted from my royalties?
Understanding withholding tax on royalties
If the net amount is less than 5000 JPY, it will be rolled over to the following months until it accumulates to at least 5000 JPY.
However, if the accumulated amount is still below 5000 JPY by the end of June each year, the full amount will be paid within five business days after June 30th.
