How much do artists make from Spotify?

I asked this this calculator how much several streaming services pay for 1 million streams of a song 🎶

The results:

• $12,000 – Tidal
• $5000 – Amazon Music
• $5000 – Apple Music
• $5000 – Groove Music
• $4700 – Deezer
• $4000 – Spotify
• $1750 – YouTube
• $1400 – Pandora
• $1300 – Soundcloud

I checked a couple of other calculators and the results differ a bit, but the numbers above seem to be a decent guide.

This video from February dives deeper into Spotify earnings…

That led me down a rabbit hole that taught me some things:

• It takes 274 streams to make $1 on Spotify
• Justin Bieber makes almost $100k per day from his streams on Spotify
• Billie Eilish makes about $55k per day
• The song Dance Monkey was earning $24.5k per day on Spotify earlier this year…

• The same song has 1.3 billion views on YouTube, amounting to $3 million in ad revenue according to this calculator.
