Spotify Payouts Remain Steady at $3,000–$5,000 Per Million Streams

Spotify continues to pay artists a consistent payout of between $3,000 and $5,000 for every one million streams as reported by data from 2025. Notably, Spotify has not announced any changes to these rates despite recent executive statements. This stability is important for musicians navigating their earnings but faces ongoing community scrutiny regarding compensation disparities between independent and label-affiliated artists.
