Important: These are estimates, not guaranteed royalty payments. Music streaming services generally do not pay a single fixed amount for every stream. Actual royalties can vary based on listener location, subscription type, advertising revenue, platform-specific royalty systems, rights ownership, label or distributor agreements, and other factors.
The rates used here are intended for planning and educational purposes. They should not be used as an exact prediction of your royalty statement.💡 Why do streaming rates vary?
A stream isn't necessarily worth the same amount from every listener. A paid subscriber in one country can generate a different royalty pool contribution than an ad-supported listener somewhere else.
Your distributor or label may also take a percentage before you receive your money. If you own your master and your recording rights, your economics can be different from an artist signed to a label.
Tip for independent artists: Use this calculator to understand the scale of streaming income, but don't judge the value of a song solely by its per-stream rate. Sync licensing, direct sales, publishing, live performances, merchandise, memberships, and other revenue streams can be important parts of an artist's business.
