Frequently Asked Questions
What is a typical major label revenue split?
Traditional major label deals have historically given artists 10 to 20 percent of revenue, with the label retaining the remainder to cover production, marketing, and distribution costs and recoup their upfront investment.
How do independent and self-released splits compare?
Independent artists distributing through platforms like DistroKid or TuneCore often keep 80 to 100 percent of streaming and sales revenue, since they are not relying on a label upfront investment and infrastructure.
What does recoupment mean in a label deal?
Recoupment means the label first recovers its upfront costs, such as advances and production expenses, from the artist revenue share before the artist sees significant ongoing royalty payments, even though the percentage split applies from the start.
