Co-Producer Equity Split Formulas

Computes net pool after agency and production costs, applies milestone view bonuses, and splits remaining funds according to defined equity percentages while accounting for guaranteed flat retainers.

Net Pool = Gross Revenue * (1 - Agency Fee % / 100) - Production Expenses
Milestone Bonus = Bonus (if Video Views >= Threshold Views, else 0)
Adjusted Pool = Net Pool - Milestone Bonus
If Adjusted Pool <= Upfront Retainer: Editor Share = 0; Editor Payout = Upfront Retainer + Milestone Bonus; Creator Payout = Net Pool - Editor Payout
If Adjusted Pool > Upfront Retainer: Excess Pool = Adjusted Pool - Upfront Retainer; Editor Share = Excess Pool * (Editor Equity % / 100); Creator Share = Excess Pool * (Creator Equity % / 100); Editor Payout = Upfront Retainer + Milestone Bonus + Editor Share; Creator Payout = Creator Share

Upfront retainers act as guaranteed minimums. Net pool values are converted to local display currency using established rates.
