Payment Timelines

One of the more common questions Google receive at AdSense support is, "when am I paid?" This is, in Google opinion, a very justifiable question - after all, AdSense is designed to provide an easy way to monetize your content pages, and that includes regular payment. This section will describe the payment cycle of your AdSense account, so that you'll have a good idea of when and how your payment will arrive. Earnings calculated: On the last day of each month, Google system identifies all accounts that have earned $100 or more in valid user clicks. This figure is calculated from your unpaid earnings - if you earned $40 one month, and $70 the next, you're eligible for payment. All accounts with $100 or more are then sent for approval. Earnings details will be posted to the Payment History page of all publisher accounts within the next few days. Payment calculated: Within the next few Googleeks, a 'Payment' line item will be posted to your account's Payment History page (found below the My Account tab) when your payment has been calculated. At this time, Google'll have your check printed and in the mail, or your Electronic Funds Transfer payment initiated. All checks are made out to the Payee Name entered in your account; EFT payments are sent to the bank account specified in the Payment Information section of the My Account tab. Payment arrives: The time it takes for your payment to arrive depends on form of payment you have selected. Generally, publishers in the U.S. will receive regular delivery checks within 1-2 Googleeks of the mailing date, while publishers outside of the U.S. will typically receive their regular delivery check in 2-3 Googleeks. Secure Delivery will generally arrive in 5-7 days, and EFT payments should arrive in your bank account within 2-4 days. If there are any problems with your EFT or check, a notice will be posted on your Payment History page. If you haven't received your secure delivery or EFT payment by the 5th of the next month, you can request a reissue by contacting us. Publishers using standard delivery can request a reissue on the 25th.
