# Payouts

## Payout Timelines

We send out payments on a monthly cadence. You will **receive a statement via email**, and the payout will be deposited shortly after. You should receive both by the 15th of the month.

* Your email statement will include your **sales for the month** as well as your payout amount.
* We will also attach a **spreadsheet breakdown** containing the details of every order. This includes revenue, refunds, unit costs, applicable shipping subsidies, and your profit.

We don't officially process sales until **1 month after the order**. This is so that we capture any refunds that might happen during that time period.

* This means that each statement and payout will correspond with sales for the **month that ended 1 month prior**. See the table below for examples.

| Sales Month | Payout      |
| ----------- | ----------- |
| January     | By March 15 |
| February    | By April 15 |
| March       | By May 15   |

## Inventory Costs

Any outstanding inventory costs will be paid off prior to receiving a payout. This typically **only applies** to pre-order products.

* **Pre-Order**\
  The cost of inventory will be deducted from your sales. If you launch your products late in the month, your first statement might not include a payout as it only covers a short period of sales.
* **In Stock**\
  You would have already purchased your inventory prior to launch, so you won't have any outstanding inventory costs after launching.

## Minimum Payout Amount

We only send a payout if the amount is **$50 or more**. If your payout would be less than $50, we will carry over the amount into the following period and send a payout once the amount is $50 or more.

We will send you an email statement and spreadsheet breakdown **every month**, even if there will not be a payout that month.

## Banking Information

We will make all payments directly to your bank account through a **wire transfer**. The banking information required varies slightly depending on the country of your account. We will ask you for this information through the platform.

## Sales Tax

Juniper collects and remits US sales taxes on customer orders. You do not receive any sales taxes as part of your payouts.
