Sheet-music earnings calculator: price, fees and creator share
Creator share per sale = (sale price − actual third-party payment fees) × 90%. The tool below explores a scenario only. Your entered sales count is hypothetical, not completed sales. See the official Marketplace page for availability and settlement conditions.
Calculate a hypothetical scenario
All amounts are in USD. Enter your own assumptions for payment fees and sales volume. See the official Marketplace page for selling eligibility and settlement conditions.
- Net amount per sale
- Creator share per sale (90%)
- Platform share per sale (10%)
- Creator share at the assumed sales count
- Amount after entered cost only
- Sales needed to cover entered cost
Separate the amounts in each sale
For a US$5 price and hypothetical payment fees of US$0.50, the net amount is US$4.50. The creator receives US$4.05 and the platform receives US$0.45. At an assumed ten sales, the creator share totals US$40.50. US$0.50 is not a fee quote, and ten sales is not a sales forecast.
This tool calculates in integer US cents, rounding each creator share to the nearest cent and assigning the remainder to the platform. See the current Marketplace terms for actual settlement currency, fee allocation and payout rules. The calculator is not a financial ledger or a withdrawable balance.
A revenue share is not your full profit
The optional cost field can include your own estimate for transcription, editing or production. If blank, the amount after cost and break-even count remain unknown; a missing cost is not zero. At US$4.99 in entered cost, the example leaves US$35.51 after that cost and requires two sales to cover it.
The result subtracts only what you enter. It does not automatically estimate refunds, disputes, taxes, currency conversion, fixed plans or unallocated payout charges. Do not count the same fee again as a production cost if it is already included in the payment-fee input. Sales may be zero and production costs may remain unrecovered.
Use scenarios to compare choices, not promise income
Compare prices and assumed sales counts to understand the share per sale and the number needed to cover a cost. Before choosing a low price, check whether the actual fees consume most of it. A calculator producing an attractive total does not supply evidence of demand or convert an assumption into income.
