ROYALTY COMPARISON CHART
Note: 50% of MRP is based on the actual print cost, but if the print cost is INR 500 and you request to list your book at INR 250, which is already half of the print cost, then you automatically shift to the zero royalty option in paperbacks.

3) How is author profit calculated?
Profit is calculated as the difference between the MRP and expenses incurred on the book. Profit = MRP – Expenses (Production Cost + Distribution Cost). Authors get 100 per cent of the net profits from the book.
4) Why is the profit higher when I sell via the Paper2Publish Bookstore?
