€119.00 from 16 purchases and 1,435 streams on Bandcamp

€17.58 from 7000+ streams (discontinued because fuck the vile streaming evonomy)
Bandcamp, streaming, merch in %
I forgot about Merch!!
€30.57 from 2025 Bandcamp sales this year. Plus, Merch!! I forgot about merch until now (2025 09 14), even if it’s only €3.38.
From the 17 merch sales on RedBubble, this is what’s forwarded to me. This amount will be donated at the next charity payment.
2024 - Proof of payments
2024 11 24 - €57,70
Corrected bandcamp payout as I had made a silly mistake.
From this point on there will be no more contributions from streaming payouts as I’ve stopped streaming for moral/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 to charity, from streaming and bandcamp. Breakdown below.
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. At 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
Germany allows €410 untaxed income per year from the 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.
