Where a dollar goes
- 1. The store pays for the streams, by country and plan: about $3.40 per thousand on Spotify across this data.
- 2. The distributor keeps a cut. Here it was 5 to 18%, taken before the label split.
- 3. The label split divides what is left. Your contract's share is what reaches you.
Where these numbers come from
Monthly royalty statements of a lofi producer releasing through 13 labels: every store, country and subscription line for 30 tracks, listened to between November 2025 and July 2026. Rates change with the audience, so yours will differ; the countries and the share of free listeners are what move it most, and both can be set in the calculator. Nothing about any single deal is shown here.
