How It Works

This royalty calculator was built to give artists, writers, and creators a simple, transparent way to understand what they are owed — without accountants, confusing spreadsheets, or expensive industry software. The goal is empowerment: clear numbers, easy steps, and full control.

1. Upload Your CSV File

Start by uploading a CSV file containing your earnings data. The calculator processes everything directly in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored on our servers.

2. Automatic Royalty Calculation

Once your file is loaded, the system automatically parses the earnings and calculates the royalties owed. It uses the values provided in your data, allowing you to quickly see totals without manually crunching numbers.

3. Add Publishers & Contributors

You can add publishers and mechanical contributors directly inside the tool. Each contributor can be assigned unique percentages, recoupable values, and other details to reflect real-world agreements.

4. Apply Deductions

If there are deductibles — such as fees, advances, or costs — you can enter them, and the calculator will automatically factor them into the final breakdown.

5. See a Clear Breakdown

After setting everything up, you’ll receive a clean, easy-to-read summary showing exactly how much is owed to each contributor. No complicated formulas, no hidden math.

6. Why We Built This

The music industry can make royalty calculations unnecessarily complicated. Many artists end up relying on accountants, managers, or paid software just to understand what they earned. This tool is designed to remove those barriers — giving you instant clarity at zero cost.

Whether you are an independent artist, a songwriter, or someone managing a catalogue, our goal is to help you stay informed and empowered.
