Okay, I'll admit up front that I do not have a head for numbers......but I'm always questioning how they come up with the amount of my Next Payment. Should it not be the same number as the "Current Balance" on my Earnings page? I look at all the numbers until I go cross-eyed and I just can't seem to find the "formula" for figuring out whether my "Next Payment" is correct! Thanks for any help you can give this math-challenged Zazzler! Smile

Your 'payment preview' doesn't include your VB since it's only paid on cleared sales at the end of the month and is subject to change. Your current balance will include all cleared earnings for the month you're being paid (in this case September) and any earnings that have cleared since the end of the month (October sales).

Thanks, mousearte! That's helpful. So, I'm assuming the "Current Balance" does contain the VB? Is that the only difference between the two amounts? Thanks again....

No, your VB isn't included anywhere, your current balance is strictly your cleared royalties and referrals.

I see.......sorry to be so confused, but I'm still a little unclear as to why the two amounts would be different then......do they not both reflect my cleared earnings and referrals?

I get a headache just thinking about it

Your 'preview next payment' should reflect what your payment for September will be minus any VB earned (however at the moment it appears to be showing the total earnings for both September and October)
Your 'current balance' reflects cleared royalties and referrals from September and October creating the difference in amounts.

Got it!! Thanks so much for your patience and your help!! Now I can go back to creating products, which is much more fun than trying to make sense of numbers! Smile

Creating is always more fun, personally numbers and I really don't mix very well.

Pleaes note that Current available balance is calculated as cleared credits minus cleared and pending debits. It does not include pending credits.
