How are royalties generated?

Written by Press Officer on .

Royalties are generated when your music is publicly performed, broadcast, streamed online, or used in licensed venues such as pubs, clubs, shops, hotels, or festivals. IMRO collects licence fees from these music users and distributes the revenue to members based on detailed performance data.

  • The amount you receive depends on several factors, including:
  • Where and how your music was used (e.g., live, broadcast, online)
  • The duration and frequency of the performance
  • Your ownership share in the work
  • The availability and accuracy of performance reports (e.g., set lists, cue sheets, usage logs)

For a complete and comprehensive guide to how royalties are calculated, please refer to the Royalties Section of this website.
