Your share of master royalties 100%
Adjust down if a label or distributor takes a cut before you're paid (e.g. a 15% distribution fee → set to 85%).

Your songwriter / publishing share 100%
Split this if you co-write with others, or lower it to reflect your publisher's admin cut. This share also applies to Performance royalties below.

Radio/TV/live performance royalties depend on spins and venue reporting in ways too variable to estimate from a formula — pull the actual number from your latest PRO statement.
$0.00
$0.00
Sync fees are negotiated deal-by-deal — the default of $2,500/placement is a rough indie-sync midpoint, not a quote.
$0.00
Your royalty rate on each sale 100%
100% for direct-to-fan sales (Bandcamp, merch table). Lower it to your contracted rate (often 12–20%) if sold through a label or retailer.

This is a planning estimate, not an accounting record. Real payouts depend on your distributor or label agreement, listener geography, subscription mix, PRO affiliation, and publisher deal terms. Cross-check against your actual distributor dashboard and PRO statements before making financial decisions.
