1. Check your address
Since payments are sent to the mailing address submitted with your application, it is important to confirm the accuracy of your contact information and payee name. If you need to correct any information:
Log into your account at https://www.google.com/adsense
- Select the My Account tab.
- Click the edit link adjacent to Payee Information and update the appropriate fields.
- Click Save Changes to update your account or Cancel to exit without saving.
For security reasons, you cannot change the Payee Name or Country fields once your application has been approved. If you need to make changes to either of these fields, please contact us and request that we close your account. Once your request has been processed, you will then be able to submit a new application with the corrected payee name and mailing address.
2. Provide your tax information
In addition to confirming your contact information, you will need to submit your tax information so that you may become eligible to receive a payment from Google. We are required to collect tax-related information from all AdSense publishers, including publishers who are based outside of the U.S. and we are unable to send payment to you until your information has been submitted. So do not skip this step!
If you have not yet submitted your tax information, click the Tax Information link from the My Account tab. From this page, an easy-to-use wizard interface will help guide you to the appropriate online forms. You are able to submit most forms online, and we will give you instructions on submitting any other forms that may be required.
3. Select your form of payment
Depending on your payment address, there may be a number of payment options available to you we suggest you read What forms of payment are available to me? in the AdSense Support centre to learn about each option. Once you have decided how you would like to be paid, click the Payment Information [edit] link from the My Account tab of your AdSense account. Follow the instructions on that page to select your form of payment. Your payments will be held until you have selected a form of payment.
4. Enter your PIN
Once you have earned $50 in combined AdSense for content and AdSense for search earnings, we will mail a Personal Identification Number to the payment address in your account. You will need to enter this PIN into your account before we can send any payments to you. Your PIN will be sent by standard post and will take 2-3 weeks to arrive.
5. Generate $100 in earnings
Each month, we send out check and EFT payments to all publishers who have earned $100 or more. If you have earned less than $100, your earnings will roll over to the next month, until your total earnings meet the $100 threshold.
Payment is disbursed within approximately 30 days of the end of the month to see the timeline of our payment cycle, read the Payment Timelines section below. Tracking Account PerformanceYou can track the performance of your AdSense for content ads and your AdSense for search pages from the Reports tab of your publisher account. The Reports tab includes two sub-tabs: Overview and Advanced Reports. There is also important information included in the Payment History table, which is linked from the Overview as well as the My Account tab.
Overview: this screen provides you with quick access to today's earnings, in addition to your page impressions, clicks, clickthrough rate, effective CPM and earnings for several pre-set date ranges (if you do not know what these terms mean, we have provided a Glossary at https://www.google.com/adsense/glossary). Overall AdSense for content and AdSense for search statistics displayed on this page can be expanded to show data for top-performing channels. You can also view predefined Quick Reports by clicking the links at the bottom of the page.
Note: if you are viewing Channel reports, the data is delayed two days before appearing in your reports. This gives us time to synchronise the data across all channels, but means that you will not see any results if you select a date range within the last two days.
Advanced Reports: Using the Advanced Reports page, you can create customised reports by choosing a product, a date range and any channels. Page impressions, clicks, clickthrough rate, effective CPM and earnings for any dates and options you prefer can be displayed from this page.
Payment History: This page tracks the status of previously issued payments, as well as monthly account calculations. You can click the Earnings... line item for any month in this table to view your AdSense for content and AdSense for search earnings, as well as any adjustments made to your account. Once you have qualified for a payment, and your cheque has been sent for printing or your EFT payment queued up, you will see it listed on this page as Payment.... Click on the link to see the payment details as well as the exchange rate used to calculate your local currency payment, if applicable.Payment Timelines
or, "When am I paid?"
One of the more common questions we receive at AdSense support is, "when am I paid?" This is, in our opinion, a very justifiable question - after all, AdSense is designed to provide an easy way to monetise your content pages and that includes regular payment.
This section will describe the payment cycle of your AdSense account, so that you will have a good idea of when and how your payment will arrive.
Earnings calculated: On the last day of each month, our 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 are 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 weeks, 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, we will have your cheque printed and in the mail or your Electronic Funds Transfer payment initiated. All cheques 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 the form of payment you have selected. Generally, publishers in the U.S. will receive regular delivery cheques within 1-2 weeks of the mailing date, while publishers outside of the U.S. will typically receive their regular delivery cheque in 2-3 weeks. 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 cheque, 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.
Holding PaymentsIf for any reason you would prefer not to receive your cheque at any time, we are happy to hold payments for you.
If you would like to pause your payments, you may do so from within your publisher account. Setting a payment self-hold will stop payments until you update your preference and remove the hold. Your account will continue to accrue earnings, and we will send you a single consolidated payment during the first payment cycle after you remove your hold. To modify your hold preference:- Log in to your account at www.google.com/adsense
- Click the My Account tab
- Click the edit link in the Payment Holding section
- To start a payment self-hold, select the Hold Payment checkbox and click Save. To end a hold and resume regular payments, deselect the checkbox and click Save.
Please note that all changes to your hold preferences should be made by the 15th of the month. Changes made to these settings after the 15th of the month may apply to either the current or next payment cycle.
