Distribute music on Instagram
How much does Instagram pay out?
Music services are generally settled to rightsholders on a pro-rata basis. Payouts are calculated as follows: Music services generate revenue from subscription fees, advertising revenue, or a combination of both. These revenues are then put into a pot from which payments are made later. The streaming service then calculates the total amount of usage (e.g. streams or creations) recorded for all songs together during a specific billing period. Each rightsholder will then receive a share of the revenue, depending on the usage. The exact breakdown depends on the agreements reached between the parties. Revenue also varies by business model and country and is calculated on a monthly basis.
