Read the assumptions before using the estimate

35% uses price minus applicable taxes. 70% uses price minus taxes and delivery costs, then multiplies the remainder by 0.70. US delivery is $0.15/MB with a $0.01 minimum. Eligibility depends on more than the price band; use KDP's actual preview before publishing.

KU has no guaranteed fixed per-page payment. Enter an assumption based on your reports. Monthly sales, first-time KENP and reader counts here are your assumptions, not predicted demand. These are royalty estimates before advertising, production costs and income-tax withholding. Annual results assume the same month repeats twelve times.

KDP Select requires digital exclusivity, including distribution on a website or blog. See the official rules.
