Settlement

TONO settles royalties to rights holders in Norway and abroad four times per year. When the settlements have been run, you will be able to see the amounts in our login service. "My TONO".

As a registered user on Mitt TONO, you will receive an email when your billing and receipts are available online. Therefore, make sure to have updated contact information registered on your profile at all times.

The date on the front page indicates when we will begin making payments to rights holders with Norwegian and foreign bank accounts. If you have an advance payment agreement with a publisher, or other arrangements, you will need to wait a few extra days.

Further down this page you can see what is included in the various settlements, and at the bottom you will find more information about the various settlement areas.

You can read about how the remuneration is calculated for the various performance areas in TONO's Settlement Rules for 2025. (pdf).
