Understanding Your Earnings

Disclaimer: The values generated are estimates. Actual payout rates fluctuate based on listener location, subscription type (premium vs. ad-supported), and your specific agreement with your distributor or label.

What is Royalty Percentage?

Enter the percentage of royalties you actually receive. For example, if your distributor takes a 15% cut, you would enter "85". If you're unsure, leaving it at 100 will show you the gross earnings from streams.

Plan Your Budget

Use these estimates to set realistic goals. How many streams do you need to break even on marketing spend, a music video, or new equipment? This tool helps you make data-informed decisions.
