How the calculation works
Total expected compensation is advance plus royalty payable after advance recoupment. The table keeps earned royalty and payable royalty distinct so an advance is not counted twice.
Compare scope as well as money
Term length, guaranteed minimums, rights, territories, audit terms, and approvals may matter, but this tool intentionally compares only the numbers you enter.
Assumptions and limits
Use one currency and enter the definitions, rates, and costs from your actual agreement, quote, or sales plan. This is a scenario calculator, not legal, tax, accounting, or commercial advice.
