Find Out What Your Music Catalog Is Worth
The free valuation tool gives you an estimate of your catalog's market value based on current transaction data. Answer a few questions about your catalog's annual income, genre, age, and revenue sources, and get an instant range. No signup, no sales call, no strings.
Music catalog valuation comes down to a simple formula: your net publisher share multiplied by a market-rate multiple. But the multiple itself depends on several factors that shift the number up or down. This tool accounts for the ones that matter most.
What Drives Your Catalog's Value
Genre matters. Pop and country catalogs consistently trade at higher NPS multiples than niche genres because of broader sync potential and streaming demand. Revenue trend matters more. A catalog with $50,000 in annual royalty income that's growing 10% year-over-year will price higher than one earning $80,000 but declining.
Catalog age and composition count play a role too. Evergreen titles with 10+ years of consistent earnings are valued differently than newer releases still building their streaming base. The number of active income-generating songs relative to the total catalog size tells buyers how concentrated the revenue is.
How CatalogIQ Calculates Your Estimate
The valuation model pulls from public transaction data, reported NPS multiples from recent catalog acquisitions, and genre-specific benchmark ranges updated for 2026. It applies adjustments for revenue stability, source diversification, and rights clarity based on your inputs. The result is a range, not a single number, because every deal has negotiation built into it.
This is a starting point, not an appraisal. But it's the same math that buyers and brokers use to set the conversation. Know your number before they tell you theirs.
