Enter the total number of streams into the Equivalent Album Units Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Equivalent Album Units. 

Equivalent Album Units Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Equivalent Album Units. 

EAU = S / 1250
  • Where EAU is the Equivalent Album Units (units)
  • S is the total number of streams 

To calculate the sales from streams, divide the total number of streams by 1250.

How to Calculate Equivalent Album Units?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Equivalent Album Units.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total number of streams.
    1. The total number of streams is given as: 10,000.
  2. Finally, calculate the Equivalent Album Units using the equation above: 

EAU = S / 1250

The values given above are inserted into the equation below:

EAU = 10,000 / 1250 = 8 (units)


Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:

total number of streams = 111,000

This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer. 

EAU = S / 1250 = ?
