How this calculator works
Royalties = streams × rate per stream. Per-stream rates are small (often $0.003–$0.005) and vary by licensing agreement, region, and rights holder splits.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Facebook pay per stream? +
Rates are typically fractions of a cent — often around $0.003–$0.005 per stream — and depend on your distributor and licensing terms.
How do I collect music royalties from Facebook? +
Royalties are usually paid through your distributor, label, or a performing rights organization rather than directly from Meta.
Who actually pays Facebook music royalties? +
Royalties usually flow through your music distributor, record label, or performing rights organization rather than directly from Meta, which licenses music in bulk.
Why is the per-stream rate so low? +
Streaming royalties are calculated on enormous volumes and split among rights holders, so individual streams pay fractions of a cent even though totals add up at scale.
Does a video using my song count as a stream? +
It depends on the licensing agreement. Some uses are counted and paid per qualifying play, while others fall under blanket licensing terms set by your rights holder.
