WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT SPOTIFY PAYOUTS
- Since 2024, a track must reach at least 1,000 streams in the past 12 months before it earns recording royalties on Spotify.
- Premium listeners and US listeners are worth more than free-tier and lower-priced markets.
Songwriters also earn separate publishing royalties through a PRO and the MLC. Compare every service at once with the streaming royalty calculator.
