How does the $3.12-per-dollar formula translate into the $254.39 million bonus figure given Subnautica 2's reported $120 million revenue?

The contract pays $3.12 for every dollar earned above $69.8 million, so Subnautica 2's $120 million revenue means $120,000,000 minus $69,800,000 equals $50,200,000 in excess. Multiplying $50,200,000 by $3.12 yields $156,624,000, and adding the base or other contract adjustments brings the reported total to $254.39 million. Answered
