Your royalties are a percentage (depending on your contract) of what RAP receives from any given distributor.

Royalty rates can vary with each distributor, and some, like Amazon, change the rate with the sale price.

[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Amazon Royalties” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%231e73be”][vc_column_text]For books priced between $2.99 and $9.99, Amazon US pays 70% of the cover price minus a small delivery cost ($0.15 per MB of the book file).

 

For books priced between $0.99 and $2.98 or over $9.99, Amazon US pays 35% of the cover price (no delivery fee).

 

For books sold to customers outside the Available Sales Territories (See Other Information section on this page) who purchased the book on Amazon.com, Amazon pays at a 35% royalty rate without any delivery fee.

*70% Royalty in Brazil, Japan, Mexico, and India. Digital Books enrolled in KDP Select will be eligible to earn 70% royalty for sales to customers in Brazil, Japan, Mexico, and India.

If your Digital Book is not enrolled in KDP Select or you do not meet the 70% List Price requirements, you will earn 35% royalty.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Kindle Select” tab_id=”1503172541037-ee1b9718-31d6″][vc_column_text]Books in Kindle Select must be exclusive to Amazon, which means those books are not available in other stores while they are in the Kindle Select program.

Books in Kindle Select earn money by the number of pages read. A customer can read your book as many times as they like, but Amazon will only pay for the number of pages read the first time the customer reads them.

It may take months for customers to read pages in a book, but no matter how long it takes, Amazon still pays once it happens. This is true even if the book is no longer in the Select program.

Amazon uses Kindle Edition Normalized Page Count (KENPC), a proprietary method to determine how many pages a book has for the purposes of payment under the Select program. It generally differs from the actual page count and is not visible to the public.

Each month, Amazon creates a KDP Select Global Fund. The share of fund allocated to each country varies based on a number of factors, such as exchange rates, customer reading behavior, and local subscription pricing. Sales amounts paid are then determined by a book’s share of total pages read. The amount per page varies each month.

For RAP reporting purposes, to get the quantity of books sold, we divide the total pages read in the month by the KENPC. That’s why you may see decimal points in the number, as if someone bought a fraction of your book.
