You're Funding Major Labels Without Knowing

The Royalty Math Nobody Shows You

Every time you stream music on any major platform, a complex web of royalty splits happens behind the scenes. And if you're an independent artist using traditional distributors, you might be losing more than you think.

How The System Works Against You

Most distributors take between 15-30% of your royalties. Some charge annual fees per release. Others lock your catalog if you stop paying. These aren't partnerships — they're toll booths.

Let's do the math:

• Average stream pays: €0.003 - €0.005
• Distributor cut: 15-30%
• After fees: You're left with €0.002 - €0.004 per stream
• To earn €1,000/month: You need 250,000 - 500,000 streams

Now multiply that across the industry. Independent artists collectively generate billions of streams. Even small percentage takes add up to massive revenue — flowing to distributors and labels, not artists.

What 0% Royalties Actually Means

When we say SYNKΞD takes 0% royalties, we mean it. Every cent from your streams goes to you. No hidden fees, no annual charges, no lock-in contracts.

We make money from optional premium tools — campaign management, advanced analytics, priority support. The distribution itself is free. Because we believe access to your audience shouldn't have a toll.

Take Control

Understanding where your money goes is the first step to keeping more of it. Track your royalties across every platform, understand your per-stream rates, and make informed decisions about where to invest your time and energy.
