Streaming Royalty Estimator

Estimate streaming income from a stream count and a chosen platform's typical per-stream payout — Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Tidal and more.

Estimated gross royalty ($)

Per-stream payouts are averages of a revenue-pool model, not fixed prices — they swing with listener subscription type, territory and the platform's monthly pool. 100,000 Spotify streams is roughly $350 gross before your distributor's cut and splits. Use this for ballpark planning, never as a guaranteed figure.

Rule / Formula

gross royalty = streams × per-stream rate (rates are rolling averages and vary by listener plan & territory)
References: Publicly reported average per-stream payouts (Spotify, Apple, etc.)

Note: Estimate only — not financial, accounting or legal advice. Royalty rates, statutory rates and platform payouts change and vary by territory and contract. Confirm with your distributor, PRO, publisher or a professional.
