Not sure what you mean by "monetary difference".

Generally, a publisher and a songwriter split the publishing royalties equally, but some songwriters are able to negotiate a better deal (usually referred to as a co-publishing agreement).

I handle deals in television and film music every day. Please feel free to contact me for a more in-depth consultation.
