Sales and Royalties Report
Royalty Report Tab
This tab contains detailed royalty calculations to help you understand how royalties are calculated based on the "Net Units Sold" for your titles during the selected timeframe. An order becomes a sale once the payment is processed, which usually takes about a day. Royalty earned is based on sales.
Royalty Tab Definitions
Date | Date (in local time zone) on which order payments are processed |
Title | You'll see a separate row for daily sales recorded for each title in the Royalty Report. If your title is available for sale in more than one marketplace, the report also shows each daily sales for each marketplace on separate rows. |
Author Name | The author name associated with the title. |
ASIN | The ASIN for your title, displayed in order of most paid orders received. |

Transaction Type | The type of transaction recorded for this title (see table below for more detail). |
Units Sold | Each row shows you daily sales totals by title for marketplace and transaction type |
Units Refunded | Shows you the total units refunded for each title on that day |
Net Units Sold | Net Units Sold = Units Sold – Units Refunded. This is the basis of your royalty calculation. |

Negative Royalties
Earned royalties are calculated based on your Net Units Sold. Since Net Units Sold = Units Sold – Units Refunded, it is possible to see a negative royalty if your "Units Refunded" exceed "Units Sold" for a particular day.
