About Your Estimate (The Fine Print)Infographic Edits - ACTIVE

Our previous estimator was designed to provide a real-time estimate of the total royalty revenue a song likely earned based on historical sales, streaming, and usage data. These calculations were focused on the U.S. & Canada and did not include a song’s worldwide streaming revenue, meaning users could have been entitled to collect even more royalties than estimated.

Please note that these historical estimates may have included all-time earnings, including royalties previously collected at a home PRO/CMO or during past deals. They were intended to give you a general idea of what your song(s) may have earned so you could understand where you may have left money on the table.

Past estimates may also have included some retroactive royalties that had expired and/or were no longer available for collection. We are currently updating our data sets to ensure our next-generation tool provides the most current information possible.

What Publishing Royalties Are You Earning?

As a songwriter, every time your music is streamed, performed, or sold, it generates two distinct types of publishing royalties:

  • Performance Royalties: Generated when your music is played on the radio, performed live in a venue, broadcast on TV, or played via non-interactive streaming (like Pandora).
  • Mechanical Royalties: Earned from physical sales, digital downloads, and every time your song is played on interactive streaming services (like Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal).
