Royalties are based on how and where your titles are offered through Prime Video.

Please refer to the Digital License Agreement for complete information. The following standard royalty payments apply:

• Buy and Rent

  Content providers receive 50% of net revenue. If you offer a season for purchase, customers who have purchased one or more episodes may be able to purchase the season for a discounted price. The season price is reduced by the amount the customer has already spent on previous episodes. You will receive 50% of net revenue for the episode and season purchases.




• Included with Prime
  

  Royalties for Prime Subscription Access will be paid according to the below rate card on a per title basis (for standalone titles and seasons) based on aggregate hours streamed by customers worldwide. Hours will start accruing when the title is streamed for the first time and will continue for a 365-day period. After the 365-day cycle, the streamed hours resets to zero and earnings will begin again at the lowest tier. We log and calculate customer streaming to the second.

  Tier	Hours Streamed	Per Hour Revenue Rates (U.S.)	Per Hour Revenue Rates (UK)	Per Hour Revenue Rates (DE)	Per Hour Revenue Rates (JP)
  1	0–99,999	$0.06	£0.04	€0.05	¥6.80
  2	100,000–499,999	$0.10	£0.07	€0.08	¥11.30
  3	500,000–999,999	$0.15	£0.11	€0.12	¥16.90
  4	1,000,000+	$0.06	£0.04	€0.05	¥6.80

  Note: The revenue rate in U.S. dollars is the controlling rate for each location. We have provided the revenue rates in local currencies for your convenience, but such local revenue rates may fluctuate with exchange rates.

  Please refer to the Digital License Agreement for how Hours Viewed is calculated.

  For all titles published before March 1, 2018, all hours streamed between September 1, 2017, and February 28, 2018, will be aggregated and used to determine a title's starting tier on March 1 (up to 500,000 hours). For example, a title that was streamed for 200,000 hours between September 1, 2017, and February 28, 2018, will start in Tier 2, at 200,000 hours, and earn $0.10 for hours streamed beginning March 1. This will be automatically applied to the rate that appears in the earnings report.




• Amazon Channels

  Content providers receive 50% of net monthly revenue.

We issue payments approximately 90 days after the end of the month in which the revenue event occurred. You will receive payment from Amazon via electronic funds transfer unless electronic funds transfer is not available in your location, in which case you will receive payment by wire transfer. If you receive payment via wire transfer, Amazon may withhold payment until you have reached a minimum threshold in accrued license fees for the applicable local marketplace. The minimum threshold for wire transfers are below.

If your royalty earnings fall below the threshold for wire payments, we will keep a running total and issue payment after the amount exceeds the minimum threshold. Your payment occurs sixty days after the end of the month in which your royalties meet the threshold. When converting local royalty earnings to a different currency, the amount to be paid after conversion must meet the minimum amount banks will allow us to send.

We support electronic payments in the locations listed below. We’re actively expanding the list and will update this information when changes occur.

Royalty payments are made by the following:
