How often does COMPASS distribute royalty?

30 Apr 2025

Performing royalties are processed twice yearly (May and November). However, where the royalty amount in May does not exceed S$100 and S$1000 respectively for local Members and international Societies, the amount will be withheld and distributed together with the November distributions. Payment will be made 1 week after the processing.

Royalties received from international Societies are distributed independently of the local distributions and are done within this 2 distributions upon the receipt of the statements from the overseas societies.

Reproduction Royalties amounting to $50.00 or more are distributed to Members upon receipt, otherwise it will be combined with Performing Rights Royalty distribution. Statements will be issued with details of the song usage.
