KDP Monthly Profit Estimator
Combine manual sales, a directional BSR range, or a fixed scenario with royalty and itemized monthly costs.
Three sales modesScenario planning
Manual and preset modes do not depend on the BSR model.
Monthly scenario
Combine sales, royalty, and monthly costs
Use your own sales count, a low-confidence BSR range, or a fixed scenario preset. Then subtract itemized monthly costs from modeled gross royalty.
Estimate only. LocalMini is not affiliated with Amazon.
Amazon does not publish an official BSR-to-sales conversion. BSR mode uses one manually calibrated benchmark snapshot, not observed or verified sales data. Royalty and printing-cost rules can change.
Sales input mode
Manual mode uses only the sales count you enter.
Modeled royalty per sale$4.39
Estimated profit subtracts $150.00 in monthly costs.

Choose the right sales input
Manual mode is best when you have your own sales history or target. BSR mode applies the same low-confidence Books/Kindle range used by the sales estimator. Presets create explicit 10, 50, 100, or 500 sales-per-month what-if scenarios without presenting them as forecasts.
Use it for rough planning on coloring books, puzzle books, journals, notebooks, paperback guides, or Kindle titles when you want to see how royalty, ad spend, software, design/editing, and other monthly costs interact. LocalMini is not affiliated with Amazon, and the result is not a promise of actual sales or profit.

Formula and worked example
Monthly profit = monthly sales x modeled royalty per sale - ads - software - design/editing - other costs. Choose the 100-sales preset, a 200-page standard-trim black-ink paperback at $12.99, $100 in ads, and $50 in other monthly costs. With the current modeled royalty of about $4.39 per sale, the scenario returns about $289.40 monthly profit. This is a what-if result, not a sales forecast or guaranteed profit; use Manual mode when you have your own sales history.
Check each component
Inspect the per-sale royalty separately or review the directional range before using BSR mode. Recheck your actual ad spend, production costs, taxes, refunds, and current KDP rules before making publishing decisions.
FAQ
Is this a guarantee of monthly profit?
No. It is a scenario calculator based on the sales mode, royalty assumptions, and costs you choose.
Does manual mode use BSR behind the scenes?
No. Manual mode uses only the monthly sales count you enter.
Are scenario presets forecasts?
No. The 10, 50, 100, and 500 sales options are fixed what-if scenarios.
How reliable is BSR mode?
It has low confidence and uses a broad manually calibrated range. It is not official Amazon data or verified sales data.
What costs are included?
The model includes delivery or print cost within royalty per sale, plus the ads, software, design/editing, and other monthly costs you enter. Taxes and many business costs remain outside the model.
Is any data sent to Amazon?
No. The tool has no Amazon connection and all calculations run locally in your browser.
Can I use this for coloring books, journals, or puzzle books?
Yes, as a planning worksheet. Enter your own price, format, page count, expected monthly sales, and costs, then treat the result as a directional scenario to review.
