Profit is calculated as the difference between the MRP and expenses incurred during the production and distribution of the book. Profit = MRP – Expenses (Distribution Cost + Production Cost).
Writers who publish using the Outpublish Program get 100% of the net profits from the book.
Writers who publish using the Notion Press Platform get 80% of the net profits from the sale of each copy of the book, depending on the distribution plan selected
Profits earned from India Online Distribution (Amazon India, Flipkart):
Sample Calculation:
Let us assume, the MRP of a book is Rs.100, and the production cost of the book is Rs.30/-. The Distribution Cost when a book sells on Amazon India and Flipkart is 50% of the MRP.
Therefore, profits are calculated as
Profits = MRP - (Distribution Cost + Production Cost)
= Rs.100 - (50 + 30) = Rs. 20
Author Earnings if you have chosen the Outpublish Program (100% net profits):
Other Stores = Rs. 20
Rs.20/- would be your earnings per book when sold via Amazon.in, Flipkart and all other eCommerce sites and retail stores.
Profits earned from India Online Distribution (Notion Press Online Store):
Notion Press charges a 20% distribution fee on all online store orders to account for Payment Processing and Order Fulfilment Charges.
Profits are calculated as Rs.100 - (20 + 30) = Rs.50
Author Earnings if you have chosen the India/International Distribution (80% net profits):
Notion Press Online Store= Rs.40
Other Stores (Amazon, Flipkart)= Rs.16
