The Royalties Estimator report displays estimates how much you earn from your books based on your actual sales. Expect the estimated royalties to update within 24 to 48 hours. This is because royalties appear only after a payment is recorded.
Note
Note
- Your estimated royalties won’t exactly match what you’re paid. Estimates based on factors that change over time, including exchange rates, which fluctuate and will be different at the time of payment.
- KDP Royalties are paid every month, approximately 60 days after the end of the month in which the sale was reported (90 days for Expanded Distribution) as long as you meet the minimum threshold for payment. For when you’ll be paid, visit When will I get paid? page.
- The line or bar graph for Kindle+ shows an estimate of royalties earned from KENP read and listened before the KDP Select Global Fund is announced. This is only an estimate and won't match your actual earnings.
- If your book is enrolled in Kindle+, royalties earned from pages read or listened to will be available the following month, when the KDP Select Global Fund is announced. The KENP Rate changes every month, so your actual royalties when the fund is announced will differ from your estimation.
