KDP calculator
Estimate an Amazon.com eBook, paperback, or hardcover royalty using US/USD rules checked against official KDP help.
Check current Amazon KDP rates and print costs before relying on the result.
Royalty scenario
Choose eBook, paperback, or hardcover and review how list-price share, delivery cost, or print cost affects the estimated royalty.
Amazon.com royalty and printing-cost rules were checked against official KDP help on June 20, 2026. Eligibility, taxes, returns, promotions, and future rule changes can affect actual royalties.
Before taxes, returns, ads, and other business costs.
70% Amazon.com royalty-rate rule verified June 20, 2026.
Amazon.com delivery cost applies to the selected 70% plan.
eBook scenarios apply the royalty plan you select and the Amazon.com delivery cost. Print scenarios apply the current 50% or 60% list-price share minus Amazon.com fixed and per-page printing cost. Taxes, returns, promotions, Expanded Distribution, and other marketplaces are outside this version.
Use this calculator before monthly profit planning so your coloring book, journal, paperback guide, hardcover, or Kindle ebook scenario starts with a visible per-sale royalty assumption. Recheck official KDP help before pricing decisions because marketplace rules, delivery fees, and print costs can change.
For an amazon.com eBook priced at $4.99, select the 70% plan and enter a 1 MB delivery file. The modeled royalty is about $3.39 per sale after the $0.15 delivery cost. For a 200-page standard-trim paperback with black ink at $12.99, the current model returns about $4.39 after printing cost. These are US/USD estimates; eligibility, taxes, returns, price changes, and future KDP rules can change the actual royalty.
Combine this per-sale estimate with manual expected sales, a fixed scenario, or the directional BSR range in the monthly profit estimator.
