Earn money with Spotify: Payout and live sales
Around 70% of Spotify's revenue, which is generated through premium subscriptions and advertising revenue, is distributed to the rights holders (such as labels or independent artists). However, billing is not based directly on the number of "plays", but on a share system: your payout depends on how often your music has been streamed in relation to the entire Spotify catalog. The more your songs are listened to compared to other tracks, the greater your share of the revenue.
