Proof of payments
Payments include processing fee, that’s why they’re higher than in the breakdown.
2024 11 24 - €57,70
Corrected bandcamp payout.
From this point on there will be no more contributions from streaming payouts as I’ve stopped streaming for ethical reasons. See breakdown below for more, or see the state of the music industry for way more.
2024 07 21 - €48.31
First payment, from streaming and bandcamp. Breakdown below.
Breakdown
Gross as in pre Net, but also that it’s fucking gross how little this shit pays.
Bandcamp vs streaming in gross payout
Bandcamp - €88.43 as of 2024 11 24
My initial Bandcamp export from the summer stated €30,73. I must’ve mis-exported the stats at the time, but I’ve now amended this in late November.
The image is from an excel worksheet that I’ll keep updated, that’s also available for download in the Downloads drive of this website.
Streaming - Stopped at €17.58
This is a final figure. It’s currently rotting in TuneCore’s accounts because I am no longer subscribed for streaming.
This is from royalties over the past four years from worldwide streaming platforms and stores like itunes. That’s over 7,000 streams and store sales, the exact analytics of which are inaccessible to me unless I upgrade my yearly plan which is fucking unacceptable, but that’s the world we live in.
I’m over 7,000 streams and made €10.08. Assuming the minimum 7,000 streams, that’s 0.0014 per stream - and my songs are an average of 5:50 minutes, so that’s €0.00024138 per minute of music. Very fucking sad.
Tax disclaimer
I’m full-time employed, and Germany allows €410 untaxed income from non-primary employment and I am still below this. So, I will not be paying taxes on what is already a ridiculously low sum, that is going to charity anyway.
