Calculate Spotify Revenue / Earning

Spotify uses a "Stream Share" model rather than a fixed pay-per-stream rate. The rate fluctuates monthly based on the total revenue pool in a specific country divided by the total number of streams in that country. Listeners on "Premium" plans generate significantly higher royalties than those on ad-supported "Free" plans.

Globally, the average typically falls between $0.003 and $0.005. However, this is heavily dependent on location. Streams from the USA or UK can pay upwards of $0.0045, while streams from emerging markets like India or Latin America may pay closer to $0.001.

Before money reaches your bank account, your distributor (like CD Baby or DistroKid) collects the funds. Some services charge a yearly fee and take 0% (enter "0" in the calculator), while others take a percentage commission (usually 9-15%).

No. These figures are estimates based on historical industry data for 2025/2026. Actual payouts vary by month and distributor. Additionally, tracks with fewer than 1,000 streams in the last 12 months may not be eligible for monetization under Spotify's current policies.
