Important Notes

  • These rates are estimates based on industry averages. Actual per-stream rates vary based on listener location, subscription tier (free vs. premium), and market conditions.
  • Master vs. Publishing: This calculator estimates both your Master royalties (paid by your distributor) and your Publishing royalties (performance + mechanicals paid by PROs/MLCs). Learn the difference here.
  • Your distributor (DistroKid, TuneCore, etc.) may take a fee before you receive your share.
  • Knowing your split is the first step. Use SplitChord to lock in your ownership percentage before you hit publish.
