Figure out what your royalties are

Can anybody translate this for me in SPanish ?

My first thought was that this might be a typo, and you really meant to say loyalties, not royalties. If it is royalties, then:

Figure out what your royalties are.
Calcula cúanto van a ser tus derechos de autor/patente.
Decide cúanto vas a querer de derechos de autor/patente.

and in an argument between a couple, loyalties, does it make sense to you?

To figure out where your loyalties lie -- is better English
(averiguar adonde yace- o está ubicada tu fidelidad)
pd:

no sé seguramente si puede usar el verbo yacer asi.

Yes, in an argument, "loyalties" makes perfect sense.

Figure out what your loyalties are!
Figure out where your loyalties lie! (I agree with Poli; this sounds better to me)
¡Decídete a quién le vas a ser leal/fiel!

Yes, it could definitely mean that.
