Net Seller Payout = Sale Price - Marketplace Fee - Creator Royalty Fee

Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation

1
Creator Royalty Allocation

Royalty = 2.5 ETH × 5.0% = 0.125 ETH ($400.00) transferred directly to creator royalty split contract.

2
Marketplace Fee Deductions

Platform Fee = 2.5 ETH × 0.5% = 0.0125 ETH ($40.00).

3
Net Seller Proceeds

Net Seller = 2.5 - 0.125 - 0.0125 = 2.3625 ETH ($7,560.00).

Frequently Asked Questions

Are creator royalties guaranteed on Ethereum smart contracts? +
Standard ERC-721 contracts do not enforce royalties on-chain because transfers can happen peer-to-peer. Modern collections use ERC-2981 royalty standards and programmable marketplace filter registries to block zero-royalty trading platforms.
Why did major NFT marketplaces slash creator royalties? +
In 2022-2023, zero-fee aggregators (Blur) captured 80%+ of trading volume by making royalties optional, forcing OpenSea and Magic Eden to lower default royalty enforcement to compete for pro traders.
