Medium Partner Program Monthly Earnings Data
I have been keeping track of Medium Partner Program monthly earnings data, through a post that is updated monthly as a resource to writers.
This article is updated monthly and can be found here:

Here are some other stats Medium included on their Partner Program as of April 2020:
$12,797.13 — the highest amount earned for a single story (Graph)
$28,622.44 — the highest amount earned by a single author (Graph)
5.4% — the percentage of active writers who earned over $100 (Graph)
Medium Blogging Guide Author Earnings Survey
Every month we conduct a survey of Medium author earnings, to see how writers following our publication are doing. Below are the results from the April earnings survey. We had 180 responses! Thank you to everyone who participated!
Overall, the earnings chart above suggests that readers of Blogging Guide are more successful than the general writing population.
In the general Medium writer population, typically 7%-9% of all active writers earn more than $100 in any given month. Among the Blogging Guide respondents, 47.7% earned over $100 per month!
It will be interesting to see if and how this trend shifts in the coming months since the new payment system based on reading time.
