Strategic FAQs
Why does the calculator normalize my mix?
Your total sales mix must equal 100%. If you enter 50% for eBook and 60% for Paperback, the tool scales them proportionately so the math remains accurate for your income goal.
How should I estimate my KU (KENP) payout?
Amazon’s KDP Select Global Fund usually pays between $0.004 and $0.005 per page. We recommend using $0.0045 as a safe baseline for planning.
Can I include Audiobook income here?
While not a default field, you can use the "Hardcover" slot to model Audiobooks by entering your average ACX royalty (usually $1.50–$3.00) in the margin field.
