04 Planning assumptions

Tracks below 1,000 streams over 12 months may not generate Spotify recording royalties.

£0.00234 - £0.0039

Apple Music averages tend to sit higher than ad-supported streaming services.

£0.00546 - £0.0078

Amazon rates vary by listener plan and territory.

£0.00312 - £0.00468

Tidal is often modelled with one of the higher planning ranges.

£0.00936 - £0.0117

Deezer estimates vary widely by country and subscription type.

£0.0039 - £0.00546

YouTube Music and ad-supported plays usually produce a wider range.

£0.00055 - £0.00156

Streaming services do not guarantee a fixed per-stream payment. Territory, subscription tier, distributor terms, label splits, publishing and reporting period can all change the final statement.

05 How to earn more from streaming

Build a release plan around discovery and repeat listening: identify the audience, choose suitable promotion channels and give new listeners a route into your catalogue.

Review saves, repeat listening and audience engagement alongside income to assess whether promotion is reaching suitable listeners. Use what you learn to refine the next release rather than treating one campaign as a guaranteed financial return.

For more background on streaming payments, read Spotify’s guide to royalties and Apple Music’s historical royalty explanation. To reach more listeners with your next release, explore our Spotify playlisting service.
