Difference between 負担 and ロイヤルティ
ロイヤルティ is _royalty_ , the money that must be paid typically to a patent owner,
a copyright holder, etc. This is a pure technical term, so see the English
Wikipedia article for details.

負担 is much more common, and in financial contexts it refers to a share of
money you have to pay (for whatever purpose). 負担 also means _workload_ ,
(psychological) _burden_ , etc.
