Spotify pays between $0.0005 to $0.005 per stream in royalties, with the average being around $0.003-$0.004 per stream. The exact amount depends on:

• Territory where the stream occurs
• Type of subscription (Premium vs Free)
• Total revenue pool for that month
• Your distribution deal terms

Spotify royalties are calculated using a pro-rata system:

• Spotify pools all subscription and ad revenue
• Your share = (Your streams / Total platform streams) × Revenue pool
• Payments are split between rights holders (labels, distributors, artists)
• Your final payout depends on your ownership percentage

Use our Spotify royalties calculator above to get exact calculations for your streams.

Several factors influence your Spotify royalty calculations:

Geographic Factors:

• Country where streams occur (US/UK pay more than developing markets)
• Local subscription prices and currency exchange rates

User Factors:

• Premium subscribers generate more revenue than free users
• Complete plays vs skipped tracks

Business Factors:

• Your distribution deal and revenue split
• Publishing ownership percentage
• Label vs independent artist status

Spotify royalty payments typically take 2-3 months to reach artists:

• Month 1: Streams are tracked and reported
• Month 2: Spotify processes payments to distributors/labels
• Month 3: Distributors pay artists (timing varies by company)

Some distributors may have faster or slower payment cycles, so check with your specific service provider.
