DashBook iPhone Calculator (not currently available)

Estimate royalties for books, music and more. Know how much royalties you will be earning or how much you will be paying.

You do know that U.S. mechanical royalties on music tracks will pay more for songs over 5 minutes, right? Each minute over 5 minutes pays even more. So don't stop at xx:58 when a couple of seconds longer will make a large difference in your future earnings!

On the percentage screen enter the quantity sold, unit price, discount, and royalty percentage. You can choose whether the royalty is before or after the discount (Retail vs. Net), and the Royalty Calculator will show you the total value sold in addition to the royalty amount.

On the mechanical screen enter the number of copies, specify whether this is a track/song or ringtone, and if it is a track, provide the track length. You can even provide a percentage less than 100% to see how much that share is worth

Both of these screens have a total or accumulator on the bottom so that you can easily add up royalties from a number of different titles.
