The free asset helps you preview the workflow. A workspace adds source imports, mapping checks, calculation runs, statement output, payment-ready exports, reconciliation, and audit history.

What the workspace adds

Calculators are useful for estimating one scenario. Allocora turns the same logic into reviewed, repeatable, exportable evidence.

How does a publishing royalty calculator handle advances?

A publishing royalty calculator estimates royalties from book revenue and rate, then applies advance recoupment, approved expenses, reserve holds, net payable, and carried balance. The governed workflow should trace each amount to imported sales rows, author or title mapping, rule versions, and locked statement output.

What makes publishing royalty statements auditable?

Publishing royalty statements are auditable when imported rows, author or title mapping, royalty rules, recoupment treatment, reserves, calculation run hash, statement export, and exception review are preserved together. That evidence supports later author questions without rebuilding the close in a spreadsheet.

What is the role of the sample workspace?

The publishing sample workspace shows how a royalty estimate becomes a repeatable close workflow with books, authors, sources, rules, statements, and exports. It is the next self-serve step when a one-off estimate needs proof, reproducibility, and exportable evidence.

Product boundary

Allocora calculates, explains, exports, reconciles, and proves expected obligations. It does not move money, collect bank credentials, provide KYC/AML, or file taxes.
