Transparent pricing
No surprises. No mystery deductions. Here is exactly where every pound goes, from the moment a fan pays to the moment you receive it.
Worked example
A fan buys a release priced at £10.00 before VAT. Here is where it goes.
| What | Amount |
|---|---|
| Fan pays (incl. UK VAT) | £12.00 |
| UK VAT (20%) | −£2.00 |
| Net after VAT | £10.00 |
| PayPal processing fee | ≈ −£0.29 + 2.9% |
| BuyMyTune fee (15%) | −£1.50 |
| Artist receives | ≈ £8.21 |
PayPal fees vary. The figures above use PayPal's standard UK rate as a guide. The actual amount may differ by a few pence per transaction. VAT is only charged to buyers in the UK and certain other jurisdictions, so international sales may differ.

What the platform fee helps pay for
Our 15% platform fee helps run BuyMyTune. Here is what it goes towards.
Getting paid
Funds from a sale enter your earnings balance after a short holding period to allow for potential chargebacks. Once cleared, you can request a bank transfer at any time from your artist dashboard.
The minimum payout amount is £20. Once your available balance reaches that threshold you can request a bank transfer from your artist dashboard.
If a buyer raises a PayPal dispute and it is upheld, the corresponding amount is reversed from your earnings balance. We will notify you before any reversal. Excessive chargeback rates may result in account review.
You can update your payout bank details from the artist dashboard at any time. Pending payouts in transit are not affected by a bank change, only new payout requests use the updated details.
All the details are in our Terms of Service. Questions? See the artist FAQ.
