So how much taxes do Canva withold. I remember filling out tax form and it should be like 5% yet I got 30% less from my monthly earnings?

"Withholding Rate
Royalties - Copyright: 5.0%"

I got 14$. Yeeeeej

I got 200$ at adove for comparison.

I got 200$. Pretty happy

Look like I'm ritcher for 10$ overnight. Dont have a clue where it came from. Also can find button, where it shows my sales.

EDIT: I found it, its at the bottom at the page.

Apparently I got 10.50$ for some reason, it doesn't look it was image sale.

My earnings are growing. Last year, my average monthly earnings from January - May were $138 ($97 same period in 2021). This year, $273, so double. I didn't upload much in between, maybe a few photos but I added PNG files, when they started accepting them. About 60 of them. RPD - who cares, even if it's lower (probably is), final amount is all that matters.

P.S. Go Adobe!

Edit: This month also being BME.

There was some discussion of Adobe sales in another thread, so I thought I'd update my tracking of the change in the mix of custom versus subscription sales and falling RPD (I only have photos and a few illustrations; no video).

Both downloads and $$ at Adobe Stock continue to beat last year's numbers, which is obviously good. May isn't over yet and already the numbers are 15% higher in $$ and 33% in DLs over all of May in 2022 (and May 2022 was 25% higher than 2021, so it's not just a rebound situation).

Revenue per download continues its decline and the proportion of "custom" downloads (versus "subscription") grows. There isn't a drop at the bottom end of royalties, which is good news. I still very occasionally see a 33� download although none this month. Otherwise it's 38� and up for everything. This week I saw a custom royalty for $16.50 which I assume is a very discounted extended license (that'd be a $26.40 royalty at list price for an EL). If I exclude that one license, May 2023 has an overall RPD of 64� versus May 2022 at 78�

In May 2022, subscriptions were just over twice the number of custom downloads; subs RPD was 74� and custom RPD 87�
In May 2023, custom were just about equal with subscriptions (6 more custom); subs RPD was 66� and custom RPD 63�
If you go back to May 2021, subs were 7x custom and the overall RPD was 80�

Looking at the year to date, the RPD is 70� - in 2020, the overall RPD was 95�. I guess the question is whether the volume of downloads can rise enough to offset the reduced royalties, assuming these trends continue.

Thanks for the interesting analysis. One question - has the increase in total DL outpaced the increase in size of your port - either in comparison to previous port size or compared to Adobe as a whole? In any case - total revenue going up is good. Prices dropping not so much. I am also glad to see the bottom isn't dropping as it is at many other sites.

Worthless analysis. At the end of the day, the only thing that really matters is total earnings at the and of the month.

Another BME (March) on Adobe with 460 sales and �310 (without any big sale, just regular sales). Back in the day, earning �140 on Adobe was considered  very good month for me , so, thats quite an increase in sales and earnings.

SS in March: 140dls, $45. SS is becoming new 123rf for me

What does applies and exports means?

There are sales, I think it's because I put my video in a free library. Advertising works.

Yes. There are sales. I did not put any videos in any free library.

Conclusion?

Conclusion: You have to thank people who agreed to have some of their files in "free section" for your growth.

Where do I open a ticket on ESP? Can't find it.

Nevermind. Found it.

Responses are totally on-topic, lol.

I thought Canva is a growing agency and earnings will only continue to go up. But instead of that, this whole year earnings are only continuing to go down. Every month there is less and less, and this is a serious problem. I already saw on this forum that this is happening with some other contributors as well, so I'm not the only one.

Does anybody have a clue why is this happening?

Yep, same here, I thought I was the only one. I reached peak at the beginning of this year (cca. 3 times more than I'm earning now) and then earnings slowly went down again.

Is, when you reach 50$ automatic payment at the beginning of the month or do we have to request it (and if so, where do I do that)?

I cash out so rarely that I forgot.
