How Streaming Royalties Work!

You might know that streaming royalties are calculated based on a complex system, but did you know that the per-stream payout is ridiculously low?

Walk with me.

– Spotify: between $0.006 and $0.0084 per stream

– Apple Music: around $0.01 per stream

– Tidal: around $0.012 per stream

Keeping in mind that to earn the US federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, you’d need:

– Around 875 streams per hour on Spotify

– Around 725 streams per hour on Apple Music

– Around 600 streams per hour on Tidal

Key Tips!

As an artist, try to;

– Register your music with streaming platforms directly.

– Use platforms like DistroKid or CD Baby

– Build a loyal fanbase to boost your streaming numbers

Never stop creating!
