Tantiem

From bank transaction to finished artist statement.

Tantiem is a software built together with a partner from the music industry that automatically turns bookings, splits, advances, and tax into an audit-proof settlement — for labels and artist management.

The problem

Excel chaos

Every settlement is put together by hand — a shifted formula often goes unnoticed.

The net/gross trap

If VAT is calculated out incorrectly, the artist's share ends up wrong.

Advances

Who received which advance and when quickly turns into a guessing game.

No traceability

No one can cleanly prove how a number came about afterwards.

How Tantiem works

1

Bookings from the accounts

Automatically from Qonto, via CSV import, or entered manually.

2

Assignment

Every booking is assigned to an artist and a position.

3

Deducting tax

The settlement runs entirely on a net basis.

4

Position budget

Net income minus net expenses gives the available budget.

5

Applying the split

The artist receives their agreed share, the label gets the rest.

6

Netting advances

Advances already paid are deducted automatically — ready for payout.
