How much money can I earn from Amazon Music?

Like other major streaming stores, Amazon pays royalties based on a pay-per-play rate. However, this rate will be less if the listener is streaming music from a lower-priced Amazon Prime account.

This and other factors like listener location means the streams from different Amazon subscriptions will have different payout calculations, making it difficult to predict exactly how much you will make from getting your music streamed on the platform.

When will I get paid by Amazon Music?
