Title: Estimated Royalties on KDP dashboard.
Post by: idontknowyet on July 09, 2022, 11:38:44 PM

So i love the new estimated royalties, but i just noticed that kdp is estimating all my royalties for purchases on the 35% scale not the 70% scale. Does it always do that?
I checked the country (us) and payout (70%).
Now i'm going to make sure its paying me out on previous months at the 70% rate

Mine isn't doing that. Book that sold yesterday was estimated at 70% royalty.

I looked books that sold a few days ago all are the right % but all of today's books are at 35%. I wonder if it fixes itself each night?

I suggest you check your Amazon page that it isn't price matching to a lower price and the prices on the books that are doing that in your bookshelf and make sure the royalty didn't change.

I've got nothing to price match. I'm amazon exclusive, in ku, and don't have any print anywhere.

some countries that buy through .COM but don't qualify for the 70% royalty pay out at 35%. I've noticed this a few times myself. I believe there's an explanation in the FAQ.

All my sales today are in the us.
