Enter the royalty fee ($) and the total cost ($) into the Royalty Rate Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Royalty Rate. 

Royalty Rate Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Royalty Rate.

RY = RF / TC * 100
  • Where RY is the Royalty Rate (%)
  • RF is the royalty fee ($) 
  • TC is the total cost ($) 

To calculate the royalty rate, divide the royalty fees by the total cost, then multiply by 100.

How to Calculate Royalty Rate?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Royalty Rate.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the royalty fee ($).
    • The royalty fee ($) is given as: 300.
  2. Next, determine the total cost ($).
    • The total cost ($) is provided as: 500.
  3. Finally, calculate the Royalty Rate using the equation above: 

RY = RF / TC * 100

The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.

RY = 300 / 500 * 100 = 60.00 (%)


Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

royalty fee ($) = 600

total cost ($) = 700

Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..
