Most artists don’t actually know what one stream of their music is worth — and that’s the problem.
This week, released a new Royalty Calculator built in partnership with leading entertainment law firm Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, giving artists something the industry rarely does: clarity.
This isn’t based on averages.
This tool lets you plug in your actual deal terms across Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon — so you can see what you earn under a label deal, a distribution deal, or full ownership.
Why this matters:
1️⃣ Royalties are increasing — if you negotiate smart splits
2️⃣ 50%+ net deals and modern distribution models are real
3️⃣ Knowledge = leverage before you sign anything
This is the same type of data lawyers use in negotiations.
If you’re not running your numbers first, you’re moving blind.
At Loxton Loxton, this is step one in any artist strategy conversation:
business before signatures. always.
