Get Paid

Monthly payouts direct to your account. Watch your earnings grow as the Layerhouse library and subscriber base expands.

How You Earn

Transparent by design.

We publish our rates openly. No black boxes, no surprises.

60%

Revenue share on individual track purchases

When a free-tier user purchases a single track license, you keep 60% of the sale price. Payments processed monthly.

Track priced at $25 → You earn $15
40%

Of subscription revenue goes to artists

Every month we take 40% of subscription revenue and distribute it proportionally based on download count. The more your tracks are downloaded, the more you earn.

300 subscribers × $9 = $2,700 pool

Your tracks: 150 of 3,000 downloads = 5%

Your earnings: $135 that month

Payouts processed on the 1st of each month via Stripe. Minimum payout threshold: $25.
