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.

Sample Calculation:

Let us assume, the MRP of a book is Rs.100, and the production cost of the book is Rs.30/-. Now, the profits would be calculated as


Profits = MRP - (Distribution Cost + Production Cost)

= Rs.100 - (50 + 30) = Rs. 20


Rs.20/- would be your earnings per book when sold via Amazon.in, Flipkart and all other eCommerce sites and in retail stores.


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 Outpublish Program (100% net profits):


Notion Press Online Store= Rs. 50

Other Stores = Rs. 20


Author Earnings if you have chosen the India/International Distribution Notion Press Platform (80% net profits):


Notion Press Online Store= Rs.40

Other Stores (Amazon, Flipkart)= Rs.16
