The AdMob payment cycle is monthly. You'll accrue estimated earnings over the course of a month, and then at the beginning of the following month your earnings are finalized and posted to the balance in the Transactions section of the Payments page. If your balance exceeds the payment threshold and you have no payment holds, you'll be issued a payment on or around the 21st of the month.
Let's say you accrue estimated earnings throughout the month of June. By July 3rd, you'll find your June 1st-30th finalized total earnings credited to Transactions. You'll then be issued a payment for your June earnings and any other credits on your balance as one lump sum around July 21st.
About payment thresholds
If your monthly earnings didn't reach the payment threshold, your earnings will be rolled over and combined with your next month's earnings. If your new balance exceeds the payment threshold, you'll be issued a payment at the end of the following month.
If your June earnings did not meet the payment threshold, they'll be rolled over and combined with your July earnings. If your new balance exceeds the payment threshold, we'll issue a single lump sum payment for your combined June and July earnings at the end of August.
Tracking your payments
In the Payments page, the Transactions section is updated to indicate the progress of your payments. You'll find line items added and updated throughout the month as your earnings are finalized and then issued for payment. You also might notice other line items for various payments and credits.
