Earn Up to 45% Royalties
Every time someone downloads your files, you get closer to earning higher royalty rates. For licenses purchased with iStock Credits or Pay As You Go Pricing, contributor royalties begin at 15% and increase based on the total amount paid to license your files each calendar year ("Redeemed Credits"), up to 45%. Each year, Redeemed Credit targets will be announced. These targets will be used to guide a contributor's royalty rate during that year and to establish the initial royalty rate in the following year. A contributor's royalty rate will move up during the year as that contributor's Redeemed Credits hit the announced targets. A contributor's initial royalty rate for the following year will be determined using the Redeemed Target announced the previous year. For licenses purchased with a subscription, contributors receive a flat royalty per downloaded file. As a result, no Redeemed Credits are applied for subscription licenses.
