What you could get
The royalty due to you is calculated as a percentage of the sale price:
- £0 to £50,000 = 4%
- £50,000.01 to £200,000 = 3%
- £200,000.01 to £350,000 = 1%
- £350,000.01 to £500,000 = 0.5%
- Above £500,000 = 0.25%
The royalty calculation is cumulative and the total ARR payable on a sale of a work is capped at £12,500.
