How this estimate works
Printing cost depends on binding (paperback or hardbound) and page count. Distribution/channel deductions vary by where the book is sold — marketplaces like Amazon retain a larger share than direct, author-managed sales. Platform charges cover payment processing and platform fees. What remains is your estimated per-copy earnings.
Colour interiors, additional pages beyond a plan's allowance, and premium trim sizes are not reflected in this illustrative calculator and are quoted separately — see the Plans page and FAQs.
