Music royalty & payout calculators
Free, transparent calculators built around the money questions independent artists ask most. Every figure is sourced and shown as a range — see the methodology.
Royalty Advance Estimator
How much could I get advanced against my streaming royalties?
Estimate the advance range you could receive against your recurring streaming income, with recoupment and deal-length tradeoffs.
Open calculator → LivePublishing Royalty Recovery Diagnostic
How much in unclaimed publishing royalties might I have?
See which royalty pools (mechanical, performance, neighbouring, foreign black-box, YouTube) you may be leaving uncollected.
Open calculator → LiveCatalog Valuation Calculator
What's my music catalog worth to sell?
Estimate a sale-valuation range for your catalog using standard royalty-income multiples, with a sell-vs-finance comparison.
Open calculator → LiveStreaming Royalty Calculator
How much is my stream count worth on Spotify, Apple Music, and more?
Turn stream counts into estimated earnings per platform, run it in reverse ("streams to earn $X"), or combine platforms — using sourced per-stream ranges.
Open calculator → LiveDistributor Comparison & Cost Calculator
Which distributor is right for me, and what will it cost over 3 years?
Compare music distributors by pricing model and features, and project your 3-year cost based on how much you release.

What could a sync placement earn me?
Estimate upfront fee ranges plus backend for film, TV, commercial, and game placements, by usage, territory, and exclusivity.
Open calculator → LiveRoyalty Splits Calculator
How do we split this song, and what does each party actually earn?
Divide a song’s royalties across collaborators by percentage and see each party’s estimated per-stream and total payout.
Open calculator → LiveDiscovery Mode ROI Calculator
Is trading a royalty cut for algorithmic reach worth it at my stream level?
Model the breakeven on Spotify Discovery Mode: how much extra reach you need to come out ahead after the promotional royalty reduction.
Open calculator → LivePRO Comparison & Decision Tool
Which PRO is right for me — ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, or GMR?
Compare performing-rights organizations by eligibility, join cost, and what they collect, and see which fits your situation.
Open calculator → LiveAI Music Royalty Eligibility Checker
Can I monetize my AI-assisted music, and on which platforms?
Check which DSPs accept AI-assisted music, the disclosure each expects, and where demonetization or spam-flag risk is highest.
Open calculator → LiveProducer Points vs. Flat Fee Calculator
Should I take producer points, a flat fee, or a hybrid?
Project lifetime earnings for producer points vs. a flat fee vs. a hybrid deal, and find the stream level where points overtake the flat fee.
