Well, the obvious answer is “you get paid,” but the process actually holds a few interesting twists for first-time earners. Let me walk you through, using the “Payments info” section on your Adsense dashboard as our guide.
There, you’ll encounter a progress bar visually tracking your distance from the payment threshold. By default, this threshold sits at $100 (or its equivalent in your currency), but you can always adjust it to a higher amount if you’re feeling ambitious.
Once you cross that finish line, things get exciting! Adsense will automatically mark your earnings as “finalized” and prepare them for payment. This usually happens around the first few days of the following month.
As soon as you hit the threshold at the end of a given month, the money will be automatically wired to your bank account.
It should take up to five days to reach your account as stated by Google.
Please note that payment issued for a given month is sent out on the 21st of the following month.
For instance, if your Adsense earnings exceed the given threshold by February 28th—the balance on your account will reset to zero and your earnings will be sent out to you on March 21st.
As such, you should receive your payment by March 26th. Net earnings in the said month of March will be aggregated on the 31st and also get paid out the following month on April 21st.
Once the earnings are wired to you go to Transactions on the Payments info page to access a receipt.
Earnings are usually aggregated at the end of the month. For this reason, your balance will always read zero after payment unless you haven’t met the threshold.
In case the payment doesn’t reflect in your account within the period stated by Google, contact your bank because wire transfers can experience unexpected delays sometimes.
Remember, only working days count and not weekends. If your payout is sent on a Friday you may receive it on Thursday the following week if it takes five working days.
