Goldman Sachs estimates Microsoft makes about 450M per year, or $3-6 per Android device sold.[1] There have been stories about them seeking royalties as high $15 per phone, but no evidence (that I know of) to support that they are getting anything close to that. It would be the highlight of their earnings if they were.
