How streaming pays
Every stream pays two sides. This calculator shows one.
01
The pool
Platforms pool subscription and ad money, then pay out by your share of all streams. That's why rates move month to month.
02
The recording side
Your distributor collects it and pays you after its fee. That's the number above.
03
The songwriting side
Your PRO and the MLC collect it. Register every song, or that money waits for you. The Royalty Checklist shows where.
Questions
There is no fixed rate. It depends on the country, the listener's plan and your share of all streams that month. The calculator uses an average.
