Royalty Calculations
We pay 100% of the net royalty to the author. We don’t partake any share in the net royalty.
It is generally based on the following formula:
Net Royalty = Selling Price – {Production Cost + Distribution Cost + Packaging Cost}*
*GST as applicable
The Selling Price includes the shipping charges.
Production Cost includes the cost of printing one book and GST and freight charges on this one book.
Distribution Cost includes all the Amazon fees and similar fees if selling on different platforms.
The Packaging Cost is around Rs. 9/- for every book.
There are three methods through which a book can be distributed on Amazon- FBA, EasyShip and SelfShip. We offer any of the three as is decided by mutual discussion between the author and us.

We disburse royalties on monthly basis. 15th day of every month is the royalty disbursal date for the last month’s earnings.

Selling price of the book depends on various factors viz. production cost, distribution charges, packaging costs, etc. Our pricing experts will let you know the Minimum Selling Price to gain a positive royalty.
