YouTube and other AdSense earnings will have separate payments accounts


YouTube earnings and other AdSense earnings will have separate payments accounts starting in March 2022.  If you are a YouTube Partner you should have received an email from AdSense this week with the announcement.

Email from AdSense:  A new way to manage and view your YouTube earnings

Do YouTube Partners need to make any changes?  No.

  • Your YouTube earnings and payment information will still be available from your AdSense account. 
  • Your current payment method and any custom payment threshold will automatically be applied to the new YouTube payment account.
  • Any unpaid YouTube earnings will be transferred to your new YouTube payment account when that becomes available.
  • You will continue to be able to access your already-paid YouTube earnings and payments information in your AdSense payments account. 
  • As now, you can see your YouTube channel's estimated revenue and ad performance reports in Analytics in YouTube Studio. Start here: studio.youtube.com/channel/UC/analytics/tab-earn_revenue
The big change: if you are both a YouTube Partner and you monetize your own website or blog with AdSense ads, your earnings from each will need to separately meet the payment threshold. 

As the announcement explains: 

The amount you earn will not change, however users with both YouTube and other AdSense earnings will have two separate payment accounts. Each payment account will need to reach the payment threshold which could influence your disbursement timing.

That means that if you are only meeting the payment threshold each month by combining your YouTube and AdSense for Content earnings, you may not be issued a payment as frequently. 

Some effects of this change are currently unknown. For example, it is not clear if you will be able to cancel your AdSense payments account, but leave your YouTube payments account open.

There should be more details about this change before it starts rolling out in March.
