How Apple's Payment Schedule Works

Apple's method involves the following oddities:

  • a fiscal year of 364 days

  • four quarters with one 35-day and two 28-day fiscal months

  • every 5 years (or so) Apple introduces an additional week (to sync up calendar years)

  • payment 33 days after a fiscal month ends

  • November payouts are sometimes early

People speculate (conspire?) as to why November’s payment comes early, the running theory is to inflate end of year revenue.

FAQ - Apple’s Fiscal Calendar & Payment Dates

How often does Apple pay developers?

12 times a year, typically 33 days after the end of the previous period.

Is there an official apple resource detailing this information?

Apple maintains a fiscal calendar inside of App Store Connect here.

Are there any requirements to receive payments from Apple for App Store generated revenue?

To receive payments for your app or in-app purchases from Apple, make sure you have a Paid Applications Agreement in effect, provide your banking information in App Store Connect, exceed the minimum monthly payment threshold for each region, and fulfill any invoicing requirements. Meeting these requirements ensures timely payments for your app or in-app purchases.

Does Google pay out in a similar way? Are payments date aligned?

Apple and Google have different payout schedules for developers. Apple typically pays developers 33 days after the end of the fiscal month, while Google initiates payouts on the 15th of each month for the previous month's sales. For example, if your app had sales in January, Google would initiate the payout on February 15. Please keep in mind Google does not process merchant payouts on weekends or public holidays, which may cause a slight delay in receiving payments.

Are payment dates the same everywhere in the world?

Yes, for the most part. The dates you receive them may change based on local bank holidays and processing times.
