The buy-in is the smaller number. The larger one is the drag: 45.0% of every sale leaves before rent, labor, or your salary — so breakeven depends on volume you cannot know from the FDD, and this brand publishes no Item 19 earnings data to anchor it.

Royalty (Item 6)
45%
a revenue split, not a royalty on sales
Item 6 lists 45% — at that level it is a revenue split between franchisor and franchisee, not a royalty charged on your sales. This estimator can't model a split; read Item 6 and the franchise agreement for what the percentage applies to and who collects the revenue.
This is not profit. It covers what the FDD fixes: what you put in, and the royalty you owe on sales. Your take-home depends on labor, rent, supplies, and the months to breakeven, none of which the FDD fixes for your unit (some Item 19s include cost data — read it).
