Work out when an advance recoups

The Recoupment calculator shows when an advance pays back from the artist's royalty. It's free for labels, managers and artists, needs no account, and nothing you type is sent to Aden.

Run the numbers

1. Open the Recoupment calculator.
2. Pick a Statement period: Monthly or Quarterly. Switching keeps the same deal, so 2,500 a month becomes 7,500 a quarter.
3. Enter the Advance and the Recoupable costs.
4. Enter the Artist royalty, as a percentage of net receipts.
5. Enter the net receipts per period, and if you like a growth per period. Use a negative growth for a release that slows down.
6. Pick the currency. It applies to every amount.

Read the answer

• The month or quarter the deal recoups in, and what the artist is paid each period after that.
• With no advance or costs, the artist is paid from the start.
• If it doesn't recoup within 10 years, you see how much is still unrecouped and what to change.
• The chart shows the unrecouped balance over time. Point at it, or tap, to read any period.
• Open the period by period table for receipts, royalty, balance and payout.
