Streaming royalty rates by country
The same stream pays wildly different amounts depending on where the listener lives. Pick a country to see estimated per-stream rates for every major platform, plus a local earnings calculator.
Premium markets
High subscription prices and strong premium adoption push per-stream rates at or above the global average.
Strong markets
Mature streaming market with solid premium adoption; rates sit somewhat below the top tier.
Growth markets
Large and growing listenership, but lower local pricing and a bigger free-tier share pull rates down.
Emerging markets
Huge listening volume at very low local price points; per-stream rates are a fraction of US levels.
Rates are editorial estimates based on local subscription pricing and premium/free listener mix. Read how listener country affects streaming royalties for the full methodology.
