Airtune wallet and payouts: when you get paid in 2026

Airtune wallet and payouts are how money from your beat sales reaches you. Every sale lands in your wallet in Airtune Studio, waits a short clearing period, and is then paid in rupees to your verified UPI ID or bank account. There is no minimum amount to withdraw.

In short

• Sales clear in 7 days when paid in rupees, or 14 days when paid in US dollars.
• Cleared money is ready the following Friday, paid in rupees to UPI or bank.
• No minimum payout, but you need KYC and PAN first, and the team checks every payout.

What is the Airtune wallet?

The Airtune wallet is where your sales money sits inside Airtune Studio before it is paid out to you. It sits in the Finances area of Studio. The pricing page shows separate rupee and dollar wallets, so rupee sales and dollar sales are easy to tell apart.

Whichever currency a buyer pays in, you are paid out in rupees. Buyers abroad pay in US dollars, and the money still reaches your Indian UPI or bank account in rupees.

Your wallet is not the same as your Aircoins. Aircoins are credit to spend on Airtune, worth ₹10 each, not cash. On a paid Studio plan, Aircoins earned from sales can be cashed out once a year, in the 30 days after your account anniversary: at least 100 and at most half of what your sales earned that year (so you need 200 or more), at ₹7 each. Signup, monthly and other granted Aircoins can never be cashed out. Our Aircoin guide explains the difference.

When do music producers get paid on Airtune?

Music producers on Airtune get paid after each sale clears. A sale paid in rupees clears for 7 days. A sale paid in US dollars clears for 14 days. The clearing time gives room to handle refunds and chargebacks before money leaves Airtune.

Cleared money becomes available the following Friday. It is paid in rupees to your verified UPI or bank account on that Friday’s payday, or whenever you tap Withdraw after that. The Airtune team checks every payout before it goes out.

Here is a worked example with real dates. Say a buyer pays in rupees on Monday 9 Nov 2026. The sale clears 7 days later, on Monday 16 Nov. It becomes available on the following Friday, 20 Nov 2026. If the same buyer had paid in US dollars, the sale would clear on Monday 23 Nov, and be available on Friday 27 Nov 2026. So plan for roughly one to three weeks between a sale and the money in your account.

Is there a minimum payout on Airtune?

No. There is no minimum payout on Airtune. Once a sale has cleared and become available, you can be paid even if the amount is small. You do not have to wait for your balance to reach a set number before you withdraw.

This helps new producers most. Your first ₹499 Easy MP3 sale does not have to sit in the wallet until more sales come in. After the clearing time and the next Friday, it can go to your UPI or bank like any other payout.

Every payout is still checked by the Airtune team before it is sent. That check protects you if someone gets into your account and tries to change where money goes. It is also why your payout details must be verified first. The rest of the rules are the same for small and large amounts: the money must clear, it becomes available the following Friday, and it is always paid in rupees.

Tip: These rules are the same as the live Airtune Payout Policy: payday every Friday, and no minimum payout. If anything here ever differs from the policy, the policy decides.

What do you need before your first payout?

Before your first payout on Airtune, you need to finish KYC and add a verified UPI or bank account. KYC means “know your customer”: the identity check a platform does before it sends you money. The Airtune Payout Policy asks for your legal name, address, PAN if you are an Indian partner, GST registration where it applies, and verified payout details.

Use the same legal name on your PAN, your bank account and your Airtune profile. A mismatch can slow the check. Keep clear photos of your PAN card and a bank proof ready before you start.

If you want to change your payout account later, that goes through verified support only. It is a safety step, so nobody else can quietly point your money to their account. The best time to finish KYC is before your first sale, so nothing holds up your first payout. Our guide on how to get paid for selling beats in India walks through the full setup.

1. Finish KYC with your legal name, address and PAN.
2. Add your UPI ID or bank account and get it verified.
3. Check the details carefully, because a typo can delay a payout.

How do producers get paid after commission and fees?

Producers on Airtune get paid the sale price minus the plan commission and the payment provider’s fee. Commission is set by your Studio plan at the time of sale. The Airtune pricing page (checked 8 Nov 2026) lists 20% on Studio Starter, 15% on Studio Lite, 10% on Studio, and 0% on Studio Pro and Legacy.

The processing fee is the payment provider’s actual fee, from Razorpay or Stripe. Until the exact fee is known, Airtune holds a flat 3% for Indian payments or 10% for international payments, then corrects it to the real fee.

Here is a worked example. A buyer in India pays ₹999 for an Easy WAV licence, and you are on the Studio plan. Commission at 10% is ₹99.90. The flat 3% held for the processing fee is ₹29.97. So ₹869.13 sits in your wallet at first, and it goes up once the hold is corrected to Razorpay’s actual fee. Compare commission across plans in Airtune Studio plans.

What do Airtune statements show about tax?

Airtune statements show every sale, commission and payout, and you can download them each month as a PDF or CSV. Commission is shown on every line, and every amount is exact to the paisa. That makes it easy to match a statement against your bank account. Your statements and invoices are also clear proof of income when you or your CA file your taxes.

Every price on Airtune includes tax, and Airtune never adds tax on top. Airtune pays the taxes on its own revenue, including GST on its commission and fees, never on the full sale price. Any GST, income tax or other tax on what you earn is your responsibility as the seller.

Any tax deduction or collection required by law (TDS/TCS) is applied as the law requires. Our guide to GST for music producers explains what this can mean for you.

This is general information, not tax advice. For your own case, ask a chartered accountant.
