The royalty is 6.5% of gross sales, with a monthly minimum from month 4. The minimum is $500 a month in months 4 to 12, $1,500 in months 13 to 24 and $2,500 from month 25 to the end of the term. At $2,500 a month the minimum is $30,000 a year*, which equals 6.5% of $461,538*.
Local advertising must be at least $3,000 a month or 6% of monthly gross sales, whichever is greater. This is spent by the franchisee in addition to the 2% brand fund fee. The 6% figure is the higher of the two above $600,000 of yearly gross sales*.

At the $729,404 average the extra 4% is $29,176 a year*, and $50,000 equals 4% of $125,000 of yearly sales over ten years*. The minimum royalty still applies.
