How to use this calculator
- Enter an estimated pages-read figure per borrow — often close to your book's total page count, though not every reader finishes.
- Enter the current estimated payout per page. This is the number most likely to need updating month to month.
- Enter how many times per month your book is read this way, and how many titles you're enrolling.
- Read the per-title and catalogue-wide monthly and yearly estimates.
How the estimate works
Earnings per title are estimated as pages read multiplied by payout per page. That figure is then multiplied by estimated monthly reads and by your title count to project a catalogue-wide monthly and yearly figure.
Because payout per page is a pool-based rate that platforms recalculate periodically, this calculator treats it as a fully editable input rather than a built-in constant — update it whenever your platform reports a new figure.
KENP earnings FAQ
Why does payout per page change every month?
Many subscription reading programs distribute a shared monthly fund across all pages read platform-wide, so the effective per-page rate shifts depending on total participation. Treat any figure you enter here as a snapshot, not a fixed rate.
Should I use my full page count as "pages read"?
Not necessarily — many readers don't finish every book. Using your full page count gives an optimistic ceiling; a lower completion-adjusted figure is usually more realistic for planning.
How does this relate to regular royalties?
Page-read earnings are typically separate from per-sale royalties and apply only to qualifying reads through the subscription program. Add this estimate to your royalty estimate on the profit projection calculator for a fuller picture.
