Become a PPL member

If you’ve performed on or own (or are the exclusive licensee of) the rights to recorded music that has been broadcast or played in public, you could be entitled to royalties from it.

Benefits of joining

It's free to join

And we do not retain a profit for our services, so you maximise your earnings.

Data-driven royalty calculation

Royalties are calculated at a track and individual performer level, based on music usage. We use cutting edge technology to match music usage with the PPL Repertoire Database.  

Regular royalty payments

UK royalties are paid out annually in June, plus other regular payments including quarterly international payments.  

International collections

We collect royalties for the use of recordings through agreements with other collective management organisations around the globe.

US tax status

We have Qualified Intermediary Status from the US tax authorities, meaning royalties collected by PPL are not subject to US withholding tax of 30%. 

Member support

Your myPPL account lets you securely manage your personal details and repertoire and view your payments online. Our specialist Member Services team is available 9am – 6pm every working day to support you.  

We champion music rights, ensuring our members’ talent and investment is fairly rewarded.
