The company will pay out 71.3% of Apple Music (http://www.imore.com/apple-music) revenue in the U.S., while that rate will fluctuate in other parts of the world, according to Re/code (http://recode.net/2015/06/15/heres-what-happens-to-your-10-after-you-pay-for-a-month-of-apple-music/):</p>

<p>Here are the real numbers, according to Robert Kondrk, the Apple executive who negotiates music deals along with media boss Eddy Cue: In the U.S., Apple will pay music owners 71.5 percent of Apple Music's subscription revenue. Outside the U.S., the number will fluctuate, but will average around 73 percent, he told Re/code in an interview.</p>

<p>Apple will also not start paying out to music labels until Apple Music customers start paying. During the initial three-month trial, Apple won't pay for any of the music streamed. To counter this, Apple will pay slightly more than most other streaming service, in part to facilitate the trial.</p> <p>Apple Music will launch in over 100 countries on June 30 (http://www.imore.com/apple-music-coming-june-30-iphone-ipad-mac-and-windows) for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Windows. It will cost $9.99 a month for an individual subscription after the three-month trial, while families of up to six can access the service for $14.99 per month.</p> <p>Source: Re/code (http://recode.net/2015/06/15/heres-what-happens-to-your-10-after-you-pay-for-a-month-of-apple-music/)</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='(http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/47411702/sc/28/mf.gif)' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
