The amount Spotify pays per stream can vary due to several factors, including the country of the listener, whether the listener is on a paid subscription or using the free tier, and the specific terms of an artist’s distribution deal. However, on average, Spotify pays between $0.003 and $0.005 per stream.
So, for 1 million streams, an artist could earn approximately:
– At $0.003 per stream: $3,000
– At $0.005 per stream: $5,000
These numbers are estimates and can fluctuate. Additionally, the payout can be split if multiple rights holders are involved (e.g., record labels, producers, songwriters).
