How to calculate the book royalties? Royalty calculation: book unit price multiplied by edition tax rate, and then multiplied by book sales or printing volume. The royalty rate reflects the royalty standard. No matter in most countries or internationally, there is no uniform standard for royalties.

The royalty rate is generally between 6%- 10%. The determination of edition tax rate generally takes into account the author's popularity, the type, quality and print run of the work, the potential market demand and the proprietary degree of the rights granted, and the author, copyright owner or his agent and the user of the work reach an agreement through consultation.

The standard and payment method of royalties need to be determined by the owner and user of the copyright of the work through oral or written agreement. If it is a book, in general, before the work is officially published, the publishing house must pay part of the royalties to the author. This part of royalties is called prepaid royalties. Royalties in advance can be paid after the contract is signed, the work is submitted or the sample book is printed.
