Instructor payment overview and schedule

Here are the steps involved in Udemy’s payment schedule for instructors.

1. As an instructor, a contract is signed with the United States based, Udemy, Inc.

2. The instructor’s paid course is submitted for review and published on Udemy.com

3. In the first month, if your course receives paid enrollments, student fees are transferred to Udemy, and Udemy deducts transaction taxes and other fees from that amount as listed in the Instructor Terms.

4. Months 1 & 2: Udemy, Inc. processes refunds, corrections, and other adjustments.

5. Month 3: Udemy pays instructor [(total Month 1 student payments after applicable deductions –  total refunds) x % revenue share]. Expected payment dates and the payment amount for a specific month are posted on your Revenue Report. All payments to instructors are from U.S.-based Udemy, Inc.
