Per-stream earnings can vary widely from one streaming platform to another and depend on several factors, including the artist’s agreement with the platform or label, the listener’s subscription type, and geographic location. Typically, per-stream payouts are a fraction of a cent, and the total amount an artist or content creator earns is the product of these per-stream rates and the total number of streams of their content. Typically, the range is between $0.003 and $0.008 per stream for the major streaming platforms.
