Year-End Income Breakdown. Feel free to share yours!

[Mark_Petrie]

Thanks for the push to take a look – usually I have a rough idea but last year was a bit wacky, and my numbers were really different from what I usually get. Here’s my breakdown:
57% performance royalties
25% mechanicals
12% sync
6% upfront

The problem I have with this chart is that it’s too limited in scope. The chart should include:

1. Writers Royalties earned from PRO
2. Publisher Royalties Earned PRO
3. Micro Sync Fees earned for internet syncs (youtube, etc.)
4. Major Syncs for broadcast Trailers, films, or TV spots
5. CID Royalties
6. Mechanical Streaming Royalties
7. Work For hire fees, Buyouts…(I do not ever sell my tracks but some do)
8. Neighboring Rights
9. advance fee (write a cue for a library for a fee, give up pub, but keep writers share)

You can break it down however you want. There aren’t any rules or anything. I just broke it down in the way that was most relevant to my own experience and interests.
