You just finished your best session.Who gets paid when it blows up?
When a song catches on, royalties get complicated fast. YourCut locks in everyone's cut—before the session buzz fades and memories get fuzzy.
Your cut, locked in.
A split sheet. In plain English.
A split sheet is a simple agreement between everyone who worked on a song. It records who created what—lyrics, melody, production, arrangement—and what percentage of the royalties each person owns.
Without one, royalties go to whoever gets there first, or whoever the label trusts most. With one, your cut is locked in—regardless of what happens after.
Most splits go wrong
when there's no written agreement—not when the song is made, but when it starts making money.
Done in 60 seconds
No lawyers. No templates to hunt for. Just add collaborators, set percentages, and lock it in.
Three steps to a
clean split.
Create the sheet
Add your song details and define each collaborator's role and ownership percentage. Takes less than a minute.
Invite collaborators
Send a unique link to each contributor. They review the split and their role — no account needed to view.
Lock the agreement
Once everyone agrees, the split sheet is locked and a PDF is generated. Ownership is crystal clear, forever.
“We lost a placement once because nobody could agree on the splits after the fact. Never again.”
It happens more than people talk about. A song gets synced or licensed, royalties flow, and suddenly everyone remembers things differently. A split sheet is the 60-second investment that makes “never again” possible.
Everything you need,
nothing you don't.

Questions worth answering.
Do I need a split sheet before or after recording?
Before is better, but during or after works too. The important thing is that everyone agrees in writing before the song is released. Once royalties start flowing, disagreements are much harder to resolve.
Is YourCut's split sheet legally binding?
Each collaborator explicitly agrees to their share in writing. That agreement is timestamped and recorded. It's not a substitute for a formal contract with a lawyer, but for the vast majority of independent releases, it's exactly what you need.
What if we already released the song without one?
You can still create one. Retroactive split sheets are common — they document what everyone agreed to at the time. Better late than never, especially if the song starts generating money.
Do my collaborators need a YourCut account?
No. They get a link by email, review the split, and agree — no signup required. Only the person creating the split sheet needs an account.
Is it really free?
Free tier covers 5 songs — no credit card, no revenue share, no strings. Pro is $9/month for unlimited songs.
What roles can I track?
Lyrics, melody, production, arrangement, features — add any role that applies. Each collaborator can have one or more roles, all linked to their percentage.
How do I use this for PRO registration (ASCAP/BMI/SESAC)?
The PDF export includes all contributor information — names, roles, and percentages. Download it after everyone agrees and use it when you register the song.
