How often is the data updated?

The report data is updated when eBook orders are placed and when paperback orders are shipped.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

• It may take extra time for reports to reflect unfulfilled orders, such as cancellations, returns, and customer credit card failures.
• It may take 24 to 48 hours for your estimated royalties to catch up to your order data. This is because royalties appear only after payment is recorded.
• If your book is enrolled in KDP Select, data is updated as new pages are read by customers who borrow your book from KU.
• For Expanded Distribution, data is updated at the end of the month following the month in which the sale occurred.
• Totals are calculated based on the time zone where orders are recorded (e.g., GMT for Amazon.co.uk).

---

How often are currency exchange rates updated?

For past months, we use the exchange rate on the last day of the month. For the current month, we use the prior month’s exchange rate.

---

How are royalties estimated for Kindle Unlimited (KU)?

If your book is enrolled in KDP Select, you can estimate royalties earned from KENP read before we announce the KDP Select Global Fund. You can estimate using the KENP Rate from the last time the KDP Select Global Fund was announced, or you can estimate based on an increase or decrease. The KENP Rate changes every month, so your actual royalties when the fund is announced will differ from your estimation.

---

What is Kindle Edition Normalized Page (KENP) Rate? How is it calculated?

KENP Rate is the amount we pay per page read from KU. We announce the KDP Select Global Fund amount for the prior month near the 15th of the following month. For example, the September fund amount will be announced around October 15. The KENP Rate is the total fund amount for a given marketplace divided by the total KENP read in that marketplace for that month.

---

What KENP Rate should I choose for my royalty estimate?

Many authors use the previous month's KENP Rate to estimate KENP royalties. You can also assume an increase (or decrease) to see a range of outcomes.

---

My actual earnings don’t match my estimated royalties. Why?

The Royalties Estimator won’t match your actual earnings because it estimates based on factors that change over time. Your estimated royalties are based on exchange rates, which fluctuate and will be different at the time of payment. If your book is enrolled in KDP Select, your estimated KENP royalties are based on KENP Rate, which changes monthly.

For an official record of your earnings, please see your Prior Months’ Royalties and Payments reports under the Reports tab.

---

Can I still use my old reports?

You can still access all the existing reports from the Reports tab, where you can continue to download all reports, just as you always have.

---

Why aren't all the reports included? Will you be adding them?

The new reports will eventually include all the information that is currently shown in KDP reports. We started with the reports that authors use the most to get feedback and make the new reports even better.

---

How can I compare my books?

You can see all your books in detail and compare up to 10 of them on the Orders and KENP Read reports. This functionality is coming soon to the Royalties Estimator.

There are several views to help you track performance across titles:

• In the filters, choose Overall to see the performance of all of your books at-a-glance. Hover on a date in the graph to see a daily breakdown of your top books by units ordered or KENP Read.
• In the filters, choose Compare to see up to 10 of your books by units ordered or KENP Read. By default, you will see your top books, up to 10.
• If you prefer, you can select any 10 books in your catalogue to compare. Press the Reset filters button to return to the view of your top books by units ordered or KENP Read.
