Recoupment on a project
If a release has an advance or recoupable marketing spend, the project's Recoupment tab shows how much has to be made back, how much has been made back from the release's earnings so far, and how much is left.
Open the Recoupment tab
- Open Projects and click the release.
- Click the Recoupment tab.
The tab only appears on your own releases, not on songs you track with a Spotify link. If nothing on the release is recoupable, it says "Nothing to recoup".
What the numbers mean
Number | What it means |
|---|---|
To recoup | The total that has to be made back: the advance, if it's recoupable, plus approved marketing costs marked as recoupable. If your agreement sets a cap, the total stops at the cap. |
Recouped | How much of that total has been made back so far. It shows "Fully recouped" when nothing is left. |
Recouped % | Recouped as a share of the total. |
Marketing spent | All approved marketing costs on the release, recoupable or not. |
Progress shows the same thing as a bar, for example "$1,290 of $3,150 recouped from this release's earnings."
Where the marketing went breaks the marketing spend down by category, such as marketing, production or creative.
How recoupment works
Recoupment is the label making back what it put into a release before the artist is paid their share of that money.
- The amount comes out of the release's own earnings, statement by statement. Each time a new statement is processed, Recouped goes up.
- Only costs marked as recoupable count. Costs that aren't recoupable are listed under Marketing spent but never taken from earnings.
- How the amount is taken, how long recoupment runs and any cap are set in the release agreement. Your agreement is the reference for your release.
When Recouped reaches To recoup, the release is fully recouped and earnings are shared as normal.
Where the numbers come from
- The advance and the recoupable costs come from the release's deal terms and its approved expenses in AMM Distro.
- The recouped amount comes from the release's processed statements. Streams that haven't been reported on a statement yet don't count.
That's why Recouped moves when a new statement arrives, not every day. To see statements and earnings, open Money (or Earnings, depending on your account) in AMM Distro.
Common questions
Why does the tab say "Nothing to recoup"?
There's no advance or recoupable marketing spend recorded on the release. If you expected one, contact us.
I have an advance, but Recouped is still zero.
The release's earnings haven't appeared on a processed statement yet. Recoupment starts with the first statement that includes the release.
Can I share recoupment with someone outside the account?
Not with a share link. The campaign status page can show the campaign budget, but not recoupment. See "Share campaign status with your team".
A number looks wrong.
Send us a message from the chat on this page, or email team@ammdistro.com. Include the release name.
