Never Fight Over Royalties Again

Music Royalty Splits Done Right

Collaborations are supposed to be fun. Money is the part that breaks them. Auto-Splits removes that friction entirely — so you can stay creative while Catapult handles the accounting.

Invite Any Collaborator

Add producers, artists, writers, session players, managers — anyone who deserves a cut. Each gets their own dashboard login and sees only their earnings. Invite with just an email address.

Exact Percentage Splits

Set precise percentages for each collaborator — not estimates, not approximations. Catapult automatically calculates the exact dollar amount owed from every stream, download, and sync placement.

Direct Automatic Deposits

Every month, Catapult sends each collaborator their share directly — to their bank account, PayPal, or Venmo. No intermediaries, no delayed transfers, no requesting funds from each other.

Everything Auto-Splits Does For You

From basic percentage splits to advanced financial controls — all built in.

Per-Release Percentage Splits

Set unique splits for every release in your catalog — each track or album can have a completely different collaborator list and percentage breakdown. A solo single, a producer collab, and a full-band album can all have different splits running in parallel.

Splits Across All Royalty Types

Auto-Splits covers streaming royalties, download sales, and sync licensing income. Every dollar that comes in from any revenue type gets divided according to your configured percentages automatically — no separate setup per royalty type.

Recoup Threshold

Set a minimum revenue milestone before collaborator payments begin. This lets you cover production costs, studio time, or any upfront investment before sharing royalties. Once the track clears the threshold you define, splits kick in automatically from that point forward.

Recipient Cap

Limit the total a specific collaborator can earn from a release. Once they hit their cap, their share of future royalties stays with you. Ideal for session musicians paid on a flat-rate basis, one-time mixing engineers, or any contributor whose involvement has a defined ceiling.

Direct Deposits to Bank, PayPal, or Venmo

Each collaborator connects their own payment method — ACH bank transfer, PayPal, or Venmo — and Catapult deposits their share directly. You never touch their money. No awkward Venmo requests, no holding someone's royalties while they update their bank details.

How it works

Set Up Splits in 3 Steps

Takes a few minutes to configure. Runs automatically forever after.

Step 01

Upload Your Release

Submit your release on Catapult as normal — audio, artwork, metadata. You'll configure splits after you submit for distribution.

Step 02

Invite & Assign Percentages

Enter each collaborator's email, type their role (Artist, Producer, Writer, etc.), and set their exact percentage. Optionally add a recoup threshold or recipient cap per person.

Step 03

Everyone Gets Paid Automatically

Once your release earns royalties, Catapult divides and deposits everyone's cut automatically each month. Your collaborators see their earnings in their own Catapult dashboard.

Catapult Dashboard

Configure Splits Right From Your Catalog

The splits interface lives directly inside your Catapult catalog. Select a release, add collaborators, and set percentages — all in a few clicks. Every collaborator gets a confirmation email and connects their own payment method independently.

  • Add collaborators at any time — even after release
  • Collaborators connect their own bank or PayPal
  • Recoup threshold and recipient cap per person
  • Each collaborator has their own earnings dashboard

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about Catapult's Auto-Splits feature.

Is Auto-Splits included with my Catapult distribution?
Yes. Auto-Splits is included with every release distributed through Catapult (If you wish to use it).
How many collaborators can I add?
There's no limit. You can invite producers, co-writers, featured artists, managers, session musicians — anyone who deserves a share. Each gets their own dashboard login and connects their own payment method.
What is a recoup threshold and how do I use it?
A recoup threshold lets you set a minimum revenue milestone that the release must earn before collaborator payments begin. For example, if you spent $500 on mixing and mastering, you can set a $500 threshold so that the first $500 in royalties stays with you before splits start flowing. Once the release crosses that threshold, all future royalties are split according to your configured percentages.
What is a recipient cap?
A recipient cap limits the total amount a specific collaborator can earn from a release. Once they reach that cap, their share of future royalties is redirected back to you. This is useful for session musicians or producers you're paying on a flat-rate basis — you can set the cap to match what you agreed to pay them without renegotiating anything later.
Can I set different splits for streams vs. downloads vs. sync?
Yes. Catapult allows you to configure splits across streaming royalties, download sales, and sync licensing income separately. If a collaborator is entitled to a different percentage for sync deals than for streaming, you can reflect that exactly.
What payment methods do collaborators receive?
Collaborators can receive their royalty shares via ACH bank transfer, PayPal, or Venmo. They connect their own payment method through their Catapult dashboard — you never have to handle their banking information or manually send them funds.
