International Royalties
Royalty policies are complicated. Choose between two versions of this page.
BMI has agreements with performing rights organizations (PROs) throughout the world, which allow those PROs to license your works and collect fees on your behalf when your music is performed outside of the United States. The foreign PROs calculate payments to BMI writers and publishers according to their own payment rules. We then collect the money from the foreign PROs and pay it out quarterly after deducting an administrative fee, which is currently 3.6%.
