The table above shows your revenue after the operator's share, Fortumo commission and the costs of sending the users a reply SMS

Mobile operator takes a revenue share on each transaction for handling billing, collecting money and covering credit risk. The operators then pay the remaining money (usually between 40% and 60% depending on end-user price) to Fortumo. Fortumo pays you the money received from operators minus a small commission (which can be only 2-3% of net price, depending on country, type of service and volume). The table above shows your revenue after the operator's share and Fortumo commission.
Payout cycle in China is 4 months

Fortumo pays you money immediately after we have received it from the mobile operators. Operators in different countries pay at different speeds. Payout cycle of 4 months means that the revenue earned by your services in January will be transferred to you in the first half of June.
After the initial waiting period, you would get a payout each month, as your February money arrives in July, March money in August, etc.
