About KDP Royalty Calculator
KDP royalties follow a simple shape: list price × royalty rate, minus a per-unit cost. eBooks on the 70% plan (list price $2.99–$9.99) subtract a delivery fee of about $0.15/MB; the 35% plan has no delivery fee; print books earn 60% of list minus the printing cost. Pick a preset or edit the rate, add the cost, and see your royalty per unit and for any number of sales.
Common uses
