How this simulation works
Each game is one of ten templates for a kind of work, filled with this platform’s real data where we have it. Anything we don’t know is either the typical value for its platform type or a plain assumption, and is labelled so below. Demand, job volume and luck are simulated.
| What | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Platform cutYou receive 80% of what buyers pay. | You keep 80% | Platform data |
| Days before money can be withdrawnTypical for this kind of work. | 30 d | Assumed |
| Minimum payoutThe game treats it as no minimum. | Not stated | Assumed |
| Buyer or advertiser pays per stream | $0.004 | Assumed |
| Streams per piece of work per month at the startMost pieces earn little; a rare one takes off. | 1,500 | Assumed |
| Chance a new piece becomes a hit (x10) | 4% | Assumed |
| Real-world benchmark (for comparison only)Only about 100,000 artists made over $7,300 from Spotify in 2025, most earn far less | — | Typical for type |
A simplified simulation based on TuneCore’s published rules, for learning only. It is not an earnings promise: real results depend on your skills, location, demand and TuneCore’s current rules.
