KDP Royalty Calculator

KDP pays a 60% royalty on your list price minus printing costs — but printing costs vary significantly by page count, trim size, and whether you choose B&W, Standard Color, or Premium Color. Use this free 2026 KDP royalty calculator to find your exact per-unit royalty before setting your price, and see the minimum price KDP requires to publish at each configuration.

Standard Color is only available for Small/Medium trim sizes (up to 6.125" x 9.25"). Large and Square formats require Premium Color for color interiors.
