How much will I get paid?
We distribute royalties to our members every month, except in July. The sooner we can get the money to our members, the better our day at Koda.
Whether your music is played on the radio, TV, or live on stage, we ensure you get paid for your work. Several factors influence your payment. For instance, on TV and radio, we consider minute values, while streaming royalties are based on the number of streams.

What do I need to do?
1. Register your music
You will only receive payment from us if your music is registered. Therefore, it is important to register your works as soon as you have written new music, ideally 14 days before it is played or other ways made public.
Register work2. Report your concerts
If you perform a concert, please report it to us within a month of the event. At first we recommend you register your works, and then report the concert a few days later, once the works are visible on your worklist at My Koda.
Report concert3. Enter your ISRC codes
If you release your music for streaming and download, you must add an ISRC code to your work. You can do this via My Koda when registering a new work or directly in your work list. Please provide this information at least 14 days before your release.
Here's how you do itCheck your account statement
We will notify you via email on the day you receive a payment. However, the amount must exceed 100 DKK before a payment is made. You can choose to be paid either monthly or quarterly.
