How are KDP eBook royalties calculated?
On the 70% option: 70% × (list price − VAT − delivery cost), where delivery is charged per megabyte. On the 35% option: 35% × (list price − VAT). Eligibility and price bands apply.
How are paperback royalties calculated?
Royalty rate × list price − printing cost. Printing cost is a fixed amount plus a per-page amount that depends on ink, trim and marketplace.
