Music catalog value calculator
Streaming rates are based on publicly reported per-stream averages: Spotify ~$0.004, Apple Music ~$0.008, YouTube Music ~$0.002, Amazon Music ~$0.004, Tidal ~$0.010. Actual rates vary by country, subscription tier, and label deals.
Cross-platform extrapolation assumes the artist has proportional presence on other platforms based on industry averages: Apple Music (~35% of Spotify streams), YouTube Music (~60%), Amazon Music (~20%), Tidal (~5%).
Audience Score is a composite of monthly listeners, follower ratio, genre multiplier, and estimated social reach. Scale: 0–100.
Merch potential is estimated using audience engagement, genre affinity for merchandise, and comparable artist benchmarks. Conversion rates range from 0.5–3% of active monthly listeners.
Catalog valuation uses a revenue multiple (typically 10–30x annual) based on growth trajectory, catalog depth, and audience demographics.
