Royalties
If your project earns more than $1 million USD in lifetime Gross Revenue, here’s what happens next
Under the Star Atlas Terms of Service, if your product or service generates over $1M USD in gross revenue, you’ll need to pay royalties only on the amount beyond that threshold.
This system keeps the ecosystem fair, supports open IP acces and helps sustain ongoing development while still rewarding creators
Royalty Rates (After $1M USD Gross Revenue)
| Industry | Product | Royalty Rate on Gross Revenue |
|---|---|---|
| Software | Entertainment | 5% |
| System Application | 4% | |
| Media | Books/Comics | 3% |
| Film | 3% | |
| Music | 3% | |
| Art | 10% | |
| Games & Figures | Board Games | 2% |
| Figurines | 5% | |
| Card Games | 7% | |
| Apparel | Clothing | 3% |
| Home Appliances/Decor | Home Appliances | 3% |
| Home Decor | 8% | |
| Other | Other | 10% |
These rates apply only to the revenue above your first $1,000,000 USD. (Example: If your comic generates $1.3M total, only $300k is subject to a 3% royalty.) Please note that these Royalty Rates are subject to change
