Confidence: low — public data and a listening proxy (strongest in the UK and US, thin elsewhere), not your statements
We become the publisher (admin only, you keep your rights): we register every song, fix the splits and claim what is owed, back to the oldest period still open. No upfront fee — a commission on what comes back.
Check with your own society whether the song is registered as a work, with every writer and their split.
If it is not, register it (title, writers, splits, IPI numbers) or ask your publisher or administrator to do it.
Ask for the ISWC once it is assigned and add it to your distributor's metadata.
In countries where you have no sub-publisher, check the work reached the local society; if not, ask your society to send it or claim it there.
Where your money comes from
Every song earns on two sides
The song (what you wrote) and the recording (what you recorded) are paid separately, by different organisations. Streams are only one source — radio, TV, live and public places matter as much or more for songwriters.
Publishing · the song
Songwriting money
Paid to writers and publishers by authors' societies (SIAE, SACEM, GEMA, PRS…), your publisher, and The MLC in the US.
Streaminga small slice of every stream (mechanical + performance)estimated below
Radio & TVoften the biggest item for songwriterspublic radio plays below
Live showsa share of ticket sales, if the setlist is reportedin the Live tab
Shops, bars, gyms, venuesbackground music licencesnot estimated yet

Downloads & CDsmechanical royalties on salesfrom your own files
Abroadcollected by local societies, passed back to yoursfrom your own files
Recording · the master
Recording money
Paid to the artist and label by the distributor, and by performers' and producers' societies (NUOVOIMAIE, PPL, GVL…).
Streaming & salesthe bulk of stream money — paid by your distributor, not a society
Unclaimed money lists
6 entries are very likely yours
Some societies publish the songs and recordings they collected money for but could not pay — and the artists they cannot reach — so rightsholders can come forward.We checked 933,311 entries from STIM (Sweden), OSA (Czechia), SOZA (SK), MESAM (Türkiye), GEMA (Germany), GVL (Germany), Gramex (Finland), SAYCO (CO).

Two lines from the map above: the songwriting slice of your streams, and an estimate of neighbouring rights for the recordings you play on. The recording money your distributor pays for streams is not here — it is already in your distributor statements.
iHow this is calculated
Calculated automatically from 13,568 listens on ListenBrainz, an open listening panel that is much stronger in the UK and US than in most other countries — so elsewhere it is often an underestimate.
Plays are scaled to all services, then multiplied by a per-play rate and by your share of the songwriting.

On the radio
2 radio plays found across 1 song in 1 country
Each of these should earn on both sides: the song (authors' society) and the recording (performers' and producers' societies).

Live shows
What your concerts should pay you
Estimated · a typical show of yours in United Kingdom£41 – £482for you per show, once the setlist is reported to PRS for Music
iHow this is estimated
Assumed 100–500 paid tickets per show (from how much your music is listened to) at a typical local price (e.g. €15–40), × each society's published concert tariff, × the share of the set that is your own songs, × your share of the writing (69%).
Put your real ticket numbers on the shows page for a precise figure. Countries without a published tariff (e.g. the US) aren't counted.
