Hozier Net Worth: How Take Me to Church, Too Sweet and the Unreal Unearth Tour Built $30 Million

Hozier’s net worth is estimated at $30 million as of October 2026, a modeled figure for the Irish singer-songwriter born Andrew John Hozier-Byrne. It is built from his record certifications, the scale of his Unreal Unearth Tour and the royalties from “Too Sweet,” which in 2024 became his first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The likely range runs from $18.5 million to $45 million, because his tour grosses, label terms and spending are private.

The best known published estimate for Hozier is $6 million, from Celebrity Net Worth, last updated in August 2025. That figure does not appear to account for a tour that ran for more than two years and finished with stadium dates in the United States and Canada. The Radar Readout below shows the published figure next to ours, and breaks our number into the income lanes behind it.

Hozier Net Worth at a Glance

How Hozier’s $30 Million Net Worth Is Built

Hozier does not publish his finances, and no Forbes or Bloomberg figure exists for him. We also could not find a reported gross for his recent tours. So the estimate below is a bottom-up model, lane by lane, and it matches the widget above.

Touring is the biggest piece. A headline act usually keeps only about 10 to 15 percent of the gross once production, crew, venue costs, agents, managers and tax are paid. We apply that share to each tour leg, using assumed ticket counts and prices rather than reported grosses, which is why every lane carries a wide range.

Take Me to Church: The Song That Started It

Hozier wrote “Take Me to Church” on his own and released it as his debut single in September 2013. It reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, holding that spot for three straight weeks across December 2014 and January 2015, and topped the charts in 12 countries. It also went to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Rock and Alternative Songs chart.

The song earned a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year at the 57th Grammy Awards, where he performed it with Annie Lennox. It is now certified 15 times Platinum by the RIAA, which puts it past Diamond, and 8 times Platinum in the UK. As the sole writer, Hozier collects the full writer’s share of its publishing income, which is one reason his early fortune is likely larger than older estimates suggest.

His self-titled debut album came out on September 19, 2014. It went to No. 1 in Ireland and No. 2 on the Billboard 200, and is certified 5 times Platinum in the US and 6 times Platinum in Ireland. Its US sales alone came to about 972,000 copies, according to figures listed on Wikipedia.

Wasteland, Baby! and the Middle Years

Hozier’s second album, Wasteland, Baby!, arrived on March 1, 2019, and debuted at No. 1 on both the Irish Albums Chart and the Billboard 200, his first US chart-topping release. It is certified Platinum in the US. That same year he headlined the closing night of Railbird Festival and played Electric Picnic, Glastonbury and Lollapalooza.

Songs from this era kept earning long after release. “Work Song,” from his debut, is certified 4 times Platinum in the US, and “Cherry Wine,” which also featured in Zach Braff’s film Wish I Was Here, is 2 times Platinum. In 2020 he gave all royalties from “Jackboot Jump” to the NAACP and Black Lives Matter, and released “The Parting Glass” for the Irish children’s charity ISPCC, so not every stream adds to his own account.

Too Sweet: His First No. 1

“Too Sweet” opened the Unheard EP, released on March 22, 2024. It debuted at No. 5 on the Hot 100, his first top five debut, and climbed to No. 1 three weeks later. Stereogum noted that it was the first US No. 1 by an Irish artist since Sinead O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” in 1990, making Hozier only the fourth Irish act to top the chart.

It also became his first No. 1 in the UK, where it topped the chart in April 2024 with 61,000 chart units, and in Ireland. The song finished 2024 as the No. 10 song on Billboard’s year-end Hot 100 and was still No. 34 in 2025. It is certified 6 times Platinum in the US, 4 times Platinum in the UK and 8 times Platinum in Australia.

Unlike “Take Me to Church,” “Too Sweet” has seven credited writers, including Hozier, so his songwriting share is smaller. We model its royalties and the catalog lift it brought at about $4 million kept since 2023, with a range of $2.5 million to $6 million.

The Unreal Unearth Tour

Hozier’s third album, Unreal Unearth, came out on August 18, 2023. It went to No. 1 in Ireland and the UK and No. 3 on the Billboard 200, and is certified Platinum in the US. The tour behind it ran from June 2023 into 2025 across Ireland, the UK, North America, Australia and New Zealand, with a 2023 stop at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Demand grew quickly. A 37 date US leg for 2024 was announced in November 2023, then 14 more shows were added in January 2024 and another 6 in February. When the 14 shows were added, a press release from Hozier said the first round of dates had sold more than 500,000 tickets in a single day. An Australia and New Zealand leg followed.

The final North American leg, announced in January 2025, moved him into bigger rooms. NME listed stadium dates at Fenway Park in Boston, T-Mobile Park in Seattle and Rogers Stadium in Toronto, along with arenas such as the Moda Center in Portland and festival slots at Governors Ball, Bonnaroo and Summerfest. He was also named a headliner of Reading and Leeds 2025.

Without published grosses, we model the tour in three parts: about $4 million kept from the 2023 leg, about $8 million from the busy 2024 legs, and about $5 million from the 2025 stadium and festival run. Even at the low end of our ranges, the tour alone adds far more than the $6 million some sites list for his entire fortune.

Collaborations and Recent Work

Hozier has kept busy between albums. A deluxe edition, Unreal Unearth: Unending, added the single “Hymn to Virgil,” released in December 2024. In 2025 he sang “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” with Barbra Streisand, appeared with Mumford and Sons on “Rubber Band Man” and featured on Lucy Dacus’s “Bullseye.” On February 28, 2026, he performed with Mumford and Sons on Saturday Night Live.

He has no widely reported brand deals or business ventures, so we keep the “other income” lane small at $1 million. His public profile still rose: TIME named him one of its 100 most influential people in 2025, and Ireland’s An Post issued a stamp in his honor in 2021.

Why Other Sites Say $6 Million

Celebrity Net Worth gives no dollar figures for his earnings, tours or deals, so its estimate is hard to check. Our model could be too high if his production costs or label share are larger than typical. It could be too low if his tours grossed more than we assume. Either way, the gap shows how much his finances changed after 2023.
