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 December 2019:
$8,855.73 — the highest amount earned for a single story
$21,650.88 — the highest amount earned by a single author
8% — the percentage of active writers who earned over $100
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 November earnings survey:
December Medium Earnings Survey
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, 53.2% earned over $100 per month!
It will be interesting to see if and how this trend shifts after a few months of the new payment system based on reading time.
I hope you found this earnings report useful! Make sure you take our monthly surveys to help us tally Medium earnings.
Until next time!
Casey
