Streaming royalty calculator (India)
Estimate what your streams are worth in rupees. Because payouts are a share of revenue, not a fixed rate, this gives you an honest range, not a false-precision number.

Estimated earnings on Spotify (your share)
How this estimate works
Spotify and other platforms do not pay a fixed rate per play. They pool the revenue they earn in a market and split it by each track's share of total streams, so the effective per-stream rate moves every month. This tool applies reported per-stream ranges, lower for India, higher for international markets, adjusts for the platform, and subtracts your distributor's cut. It is an estimate, so treat the range as a guide and your distributor's dashboard as the truth.

Streaming is the discovery layer, not the income
We run a hands-on artist development programme that builds the live, sync, merch, and fan income around your releases.
