When does AdMob pay, and what is the payment threshold?
AdMob pays monthly once your balance passes the $100 payment threshold, with payments normally issued between the 21st and 26th of the following month. The cycle is worth understanding because it delays first income far more than most people expect. Earnings accrue through a calendar month, are finalised in the first days of the next month after invalid-traffic deductions, and are only released if the balance has crossed $100 and the account has completed identity verification, address (PIN) verification, and tax form submission. An app earning $30 a month therefore sees nothing until month four. Payment is made in local currency by bank transfer for most countries, including India. If a payment is held, it is almost always one of those three verification steps sitting incomplete rather than a problem with the earnings themselves.
