About this calculator

Per-stream payouts vary by service, country and listener plan — roughly $0.003–$0.005 on Spotify, $0.007–$0.01 on Apple Music, $0.0007 on YouTube and $0.012 on Tidal. After the label/distributor split (often 15–30% for distributors, 50–80% for labels) the artist's net is much smaller. Rates are estimates; check your own statements.
