Estimate your publishing royalties from your Spotify profile, then compare what different publishing deals could pay under these assumptions.

Step 1: Estimate your annual royalties

Search for your Spotify artist profile to estimate publishing royalties from follower count and track popularity. These are illustrative estimates, not a royalty audit or a prediction of your income.

Understanding Publishing Deals

Self-Publishing

You keep 100% of both the writer's and publisher's share. This is the most profitable option if you can handle the administration yourself or use a low-cost service like JukeHouse.

Admin Deal

An administrator handles registrations and collections for a commission (typically 10-25%). You retain ownership and keep most of the publisher's share. Great for busy creators.

Co-Publishing

You split the publisher's share 50-50 with a publishing company. They provide services like sync licensing, promotion, and administration. You keep your entire writer's share plus 50% of the publisher's share.

Traditional Publishing

The publisher takes the entire publisher's share. In return, they may offer advances, sync opportunities, and full service administration. You keep only the writer's share (50% of total royalties).
