The simulator.

Don't trust our examples. Change them. Every slider below feeds the same integer-cent waterfall code the server runs for real allocations (published here). The results are estimates of what the music rights would gross. Real income depends on real listeners.

One subscription, split

What an audience could generate

Gross monthly music-rights revenue for one artist, before any splits the artist has set.

1,000 listeners at a 5% average share generate $507.00 per month ($6.1K per year) here, versus $9.00 per month under the adjustable typical-streaming estimate.

Before you quote these numbers

The simulator does simple arithmetic. It can't tell you how many listeners an artist will find or how tastes will change. It just shows where the money goes once people are actually listening.
“Share of listening” counts qualified time only. A play has to last 30 seconds or more. Muted autoplay doesn't count, and artists can't earn from playing their own songs.
You can adjust the typical-streaming comparison because nobody agrees on the real per-stream rate. Plug in whatever number you trust.
These figures are gross music-rights revenue. If an artist splits earnings with collaborators or a label, that happens after allocation, same as on the platform.
