How PPL royalties are calculated
PPL calculates royalties based on how much each member has earned after money has been collected from licensees in the UK. We then distribute the money to the relevant performers and recording rightsholders, taking into consideration the deduction of costs and any other adjustments. This process differs slightly for international collections. The calculations for these are carried out by collective management organisations that have agreements with PPL. The final calculated amount is then provided to PPL for distribution.
