Drop in your book's KENP page count and readers, and see exactly what you earn per read, per month and per year — using the current 2026 KENP rate.
Amazon pools a monthly KDP Select Global Fund and divides it by the total pages read by Kindle Unlimited subscribers. That's why the per-page rate moves every month — the fund was $67.0 million in June 2026.
Your payout is simply: pages read × that month's rate. A 300-page book at the current ~$0.0048 rate earns about $1.44 per full read, and 100 readers a month adds up to roughly $144/month.

KENP rates are estimates compiled from public trackers (kindlepreneur.com, automateed.com) and Amazon's KDP Select fund announcements. Amazon publishes the official monthly rate in your KDP dashboard. Last verified 2026-08-04.
