Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the Dreamstime earnings calculator?
It is a planning estimate based on contributor-reported payout ranges, annualized per-asset revenue, and the visible inputs on this page. Real results vary with keywording, content quality, review acceptance, buyer mix, and seasonality.
Why are low and high scenarios so different?
Stock income is uneven. A strong commercial niche, better metadata, and recurring buyer demand can lift the same asset count far above a weak or oversupplied library.
Does exclusivity change the estimate?
Only pages and platforms with explicit exclusive and nonexclusive commission fields can model an exclusivity bonus. Otherwise, the calculator keeps the nonexclusive baseline.
Why do some platforms have fewer format pages?
The generator skips format pages when the data file lacks a useful metric for that media type. That avoids invented precision and keeps the pages honest.
What does the average scenario mean?
The average scenario uses the midpoint-style annual revenue metric from the data file for the selected platform and asset type. It should be treated as a realistic baseline, not a guaranteed return.
