Acceptance of terms

By using PublishCalc, you agree to these terms of use. If you do not agree, please do not use this site.

What PublishCalc provides

PublishCalc provides free, browser-based calculators intended to help self-published authors estimate royalties, print costs, page counts, spine widths, and book profit projections for planning purposes. Results are estimates, not official figures — see the disclaimer for full detail.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse this site, including attempting to disrupt its operation, scraping content at scale without permission, or using it for any unlawful purpose.

Intellectual property

The design, code, wording, and branding of PublishCalc are original to this site and protected by applicable intellectual property law. You're welcome to link to PublishCalc. Reproducing substantial parts of the site's design or content elsewhere without permission is not permitted.

No warranty

PublishCalc is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including as to accuracy, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose. Calculator results are estimates and may not reflect actual outcomes.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, PublishCalc and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site or reliance on any estimate it produces.

Third-party links and services

This site may contain links to third-party websites and may display third-party advertising. PublishCalc is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site or service.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by applicable law in the jurisdiction where PublishCalc's operator is based, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
