Book publishing cost calculation?
Many friends who plan to publish books, even many publishing peers, can be said to be confused about calculating the publishing cost of books. Generally speaking, publishing a book mainly includes the following expenses:

1) Publishing management fee is ISBN fee, but publishers generally avoid this title. Generally speaking, this fee varies according to the reputation and level of each publishing house. As far as I know, the ISBN fees of top liberal arts publishing houses such as Zhonghua Book Company, Sanlian Bookstore, Commercial Press and China Social Sciences Publishing House are generally more than 30,000 yuan. ISBN fees for local publishing houses are generally around 20,000 yuan. The publishing industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan implements a registration system. There is no ISBN fee, and its registration fee is often only a few hundred yuan. However, the General Administration of Press and Publication does not allow Hong Kong and Taiwan publications to be sold in the Mainland, and these books cannot participate in the evaluation of professional titles in the Mainland. Similarly, periodicals only have ISSN number, that is, international number, and there is no mainland number, that is, CN number, which is not recognized in the mainland. Papers published in these journals do not count when evaluating professional titles.

2) Editing and proofreading fees are mainly the cost of editing manuscripts, and the standards of each publishing house are different. As far as I know, it is generally 50- 100 yuan per 10,000 words. However, it should be reminded that the number of words here is not the number of words calculated by words. According to the custom of publishing industry, the number of words = lines per side * words per line. Even if there is a blank, it is calculated according to the whole page. Therefore, the number of words in the copyright page of each book is actually 20%-30% more than that calculated by word, which is called "promotion" in the publishing industry.

3) The typesetting fee is the cost of typesetting the manuscript, which is generally typeset by professional typesetters using Founder Book Edition software. After typesetting is completed, there is also the cost of film. The role of film in printing is similar to that of the negative of photos developed in the past. This fee is divided into 32 carats, 16 carats, small 16 carats and international 16 carats. According to the current situation in Shandong Province, the typesetting costs of general liberal arts manuscripts are 5 yuan (32 pages), 10 yuan (16 pages) and 8.5 yuan (16 pages and 16 pages internationally). If it is science and engineering, the cost will increase because of charts and symbols. If it is color plate making, the cost will be higher.

4) The cover design fee is generally the 300 yuan of each cover, including the cost of proofing and film production.

5) The printing fee is easy to understand. The main factors that determine the printing cost are the book format, the number of printed pages (that is, the number of pages used in each book, the number of printed pages = the total number of pages in the book/format) and the number of albums. Suppose the size of a book is 32 pages, 65,438+0,000 volumes. According to the current price of Shandong printers, the total printing cost is 0.39 yuan =(300 pages /32 pages) *0.39 yuan/sheet * 1 0,000 copies = 3,656 yuan. If the number of printed albums increases, the unit price per printing will decrease due to marginal effect. For example, in the same situation, the price of 5000 copies printed by the printer is only 0.25 yuan, which is much lower. At present, according to the agreement between the author and the publishing house, the printing cost varies greatly. If the publishing house doesn't need the author to underwrite books, then the author doesn't have to bear the printing cost.

6) Tax 1-4 VAT is levied at 14%. Item 5 includes tax.

For example, suppose that the publishing management fee of a publishing house is 1.8 million yuan, and the editing fee standard is 1 10,000 words of 50 yuan. Bobo plans to publish a 300-page personal monograph (28 lines *28 words typesetting) here. The publishing house does not need the author to underwrite the book, so the publishing cost is:

1) ISBN fee 1.8 million; The editing and proofreading fee is 28 lines *28 words *300 pages *50 yuan/ten thousand words = 1 175 yuan; 3) typesetting cost 5 yuan/face *300 faces = 1500 yuan; 4) The cover design fee is 300 yuan; 5) Printing fee 0 yuan; 6) Tax (18000+1175+1500+300) *14% = 2936 yuan.

The total is: 239 1 1 yuan.
