The Math

Live gold-linked production
Gold price / g
$—
Cost per unit
$—
gold_cost = 0.4 × live gold price
production_cost = $20.00

How the numbers
work

IRIS pricing is tied to the live gold price. Every piece contains 0.4g of physical gold — so the cost, and the minimum price, move with the market.
Current minimum price: $— (excl. tax) — this is the lowest listed price at which a partner may sell a piece.
For public editions, you set your price at or above the current minimum. Sales tax (16%) is added at checkout on top of your listed price. Production cost is deducted from your listed price to calculate margin, and the remaining margin is then split according to your package tier.
Margin = your listed price minus production cost
Your earnings = margin × your package percentage
Tax = collected from the buyer at checkout, does not affect your margin

FAQ

Common questions

The minimum price is based on the live gold price and updates automatically. Each piece contains 0.4g of gold — combined with $20 in production costs, this gives a cost per unit. The minimum listed price is set at cost × 1.50, ensuring a 50% margin above production cost. Sales tax (16%) is added at checkout on top — it doesn't affect your earnings. You can always price above the minimum, and the higher you price, the more you earn per piece.
Yes — you can set any price at or above the current minimum. There's no upper limit. The higher your price, the larger your net margin, and the more you earn per piece. We recommend pricing based on your audience and the perceived value of your edition.
For Artist, Studio, and Gallery editions (public), you don't pay for production before sales begin. IRIS covers production costs and recoups them from each sale. You start earning from piece #1. The only exception is the Gallery package, which requires a $5,000 setup fee upfront for the dedicated infrastructure (microsite, custom packaging, PR).
For private editions, you pay the full production cost before we begin manufacturing. The invoice is cost per unit × your edition size. You then sell or distribute the pieces yourself — IRIS doesn't list them publicly. You keep 100% of your sales revenue. The production cost per unit reflects the current gold price at the time of your order.
High-resolution PNG, TIFF, PDF, or PSD. Minimum 300 DPI at print size. Our production team reviews every file and will guide you through exact specs after you apply.
After artwork approval, 4–8 weeks depending on edition size. We first produce one sample piece (approx. 2 weeks) and send it to you for approval. Full production begins once you sign off.
Yes. You retain full copyright. The partnership agreement grants IRIS a limited license to produce and sell the agreed edition only. You can continue using your artwork in any other context — including selling originals separately.
For public editions, unsold inventory is held by IRIS at no cost to you. We may run targeted promotions to move remaining pieces. You earn your share on every piece sold, whenever it sells — there's no deadline.
Monthly payouts on the 15th of each month, for all sales from the previous month. We pay via bank transfer or PayPal. You'll have a real-time dashboard showing every sale, every reveal, and your pending payout at all times.
Net margin is what's left after deducting the production cost per unit from your listed price. Your earnings are your package percentage of that margin. Tax is added at checkout and does not reduce your share. We never deduct anything else.
