A rough estimate from public figures, not an official rate. Services do not publish fixed rates, and real pay depends on country, subscription type and your contracts.
How it works
Enter the number of streams and the share you keep after your distributor, label and collaborators. The table shows a rough range for each service.
How much does Spotify pay per stream?
There is no fixed rate. It depends on the listener's country, subscription type and your contracts. Public estimates are usually around $0.003–0.005.
Is every stream paid?
Not always. On Spotify, a stream counts after 30 seconds, and a track needs at least 1,000 streams in 12 months to earn recorded royalties.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything is processed by your own browser. Your music is not sent to our server or anyone else, so the tool is private and works even with very large files.
