Elements Earnings FAQs

When are my earnings paid?

We pay out your earnings into your nominated account on the 16th of the month if it is a weekday. If the 16th falls on a weekend, your earnings will be paid on the following Monday.

Due to our revenue share methodology, there is a necessary delay before we can calculate author earnings. The reason is that we need to wait until an individual subscription period has finished and no more downloads can occur before we can determine the earnings value of those downloads.

For example, your earnings relating to subscriptions that started in February will be paid on 16th April. Those subscriptions may include downloads in either February or March, depending on the individual subscribers start and end dates.

There is a minimum payout threshold of USD $50 that applies to your earnings, as per the author agreement.

Your earnings will be paid to you in US dollars and you are responsible for all costs of currency conversion relating to your earnings. Your financial institution does the currency conversion and may charge you additional fees (we don’t control either the conversion rates or your financial institution’s fees).

What payment methods do you support?

On Envato Elements we support payment via PayPal or Bank Transfer (including Payoneer). You can read more about these in our Understanding Earnings on Envato Elements and Setting up your Elements Payout Method articles.
