Enter the total revenue and the total number of streams into the calculator to determine the pay per stream. This calculator helps to estimate the earnings per individual stream.
Pay Per Stream Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the pay per stream.
PPS = TR / TS
Variables:
- PPS is the pay per stream ($)
- TR is the total revenue ($)
- TS is the total number of streams
To calculate the pay per stream, divide the total revenue by the total number of streams.
What is Pay Per Stream?
Pay per stream is a metric used in the music and streaming industry to represent how much money a content creator earns for each stream of their content.

The pay per stream can vary widely depending on the streaming platform’s payment model and the agreements in place.
How to Calculate Pay Per Stream?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Pay Per Stream.
- First, determine the total revenue (TR) generated from streams in dollars.
- Next, determine the total number of streams (TS).
- Next, gather the formula from above = PPS = TR / TS.
- Finally, calculate the Pay Per Stream (PPS) in dollars.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
