NFT Royalty Profit Calculator
Estimate earnings for Creators from Minting and Secondary Royalties.
How This Tool Works
Launching an NFT collection? Use this tool to estimate your potential revenue. It breaks down earnings into two buckets: the upfront cash from minting out, and the long-tail passive income from secondary market trading.
- Calculations:
(Supply * Mint Price) + (Volume * Royalty %) - The Goal: Understand if your mint price and royalty settings are sustainable for your project's roadmap.
How to Use
- Mint Price: How much does one NFT cost? (e.g., 0.05 ETH).
- Supply: Total items in collection (e.g., 5,000 or 10,000).
- Royalty %: Your cut of secondary sales (standard is 5%).
- Est. Volume: Guess the total trading volume on OpenSea over time.
Example Launch
Supply: 10,000 items at 0.05 ETH.
Royalty: 5%.
Volume: 5,000 ETH (successful collection).
• Mint Revenue: 500 ETH (~$1M)
• Royalty Revenue: 250 ETH (~$500k)
• Total: 750 ETH
Why This Matters
Many projects fail because they underestimate post-mint costs. Knowing your numbers helps you budget for development, marketing, and community management.
Limitations & Disclaimer
• Marketplaces like Blur often bypass royalties. Actual royalty revenue may be lower.
• ETH price volatility affects the USD value significantly.
FAQs
The industry standard is between 2.5% and 7.5%. 10% is considered high but acceptable for art-focused projects. 0% is common for some 'degen' mints or when marketplaces enforce 0% royalties.
Not always. Some marketplaces (like OpenSea) enforce them, while others (like Blur or SudoSwap) may make them optional. This calculator assumes you receive the full royalty percentage.
Primary sales happen when a user 'mints' the NFT directly from your smart contract. You get 100% of this revenue (minus gas deployment costs).
