Formula Used

The total estimated earnings (E) are calculated using the following formula:

E = (S × R_stream) + (A × R_album) + (P × R_performance) + L

Where:

S = Number of streams
R_stream = Revenue per stream
A = Number of album sales
R_album = Revenue per album sale
P = Number of performances
R_performance = Performance royalty rate
L = Sync licensing revenue

The calculator uses these variables to provide an estimate of your total potential earnings from music royalties.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you have the following data:

1,000,000 streams at $0.003 per stream
10,000 album sales at $12 per album
50 performances at $50 per performance
$2,000 in sync licensing revenue

Using the formula:

E = (1,000,000 × $0.003) + (10,000 × $12) + (50 × $50) + $2,000

E = $3,000 + $120,000 + $2,500 + $2,000

E = $127,500

So, based on these numbers, your estimated total earnings would be $127,500.
