How much is the royalty?

Question 1: What is the author's royalty? Total income before tax minus 20% and then multiplied by 1%,

The lowest line is above 800 yuan,

For example, if your pre-tax income is 6,543,804 yuan, then,

Your tax should be: (140,000 yuan-140,000 yuan * 20%) *14% =15.68 million yuan.

Question 2: According to the market rules, what percentage of royalties can a book author get? 6- 10%, generally 8%.

The calculation formula of commission is as follows:

Royalty r = book pricing P× circulation Q× edition tax rate r (1)

Royalty r = book wholesale price Pw× circulation q /× edition tax rate r (2)

Royalty r = book pricing P× sales Qs× edition tax rate r (3)

Royalty r = book pricing P× print run q. X version tax rate r (4)

Royalty R = publishing house sales income I× edition tax rate r (5)

Here are just a few simple data.

Let's assume that a publishing house publishes a book at the price of 20 yuan.

The first printing was 10000 copies, of which 200 copies were free samples. This book is distributed to sellers at a price of 6.5% discount.

Based on this, we can calculate the royalty difference based on book pricing and book wholesale price respectively.

Suppose the publisher and the author agree that the tax rate is 8%. If calculated according to the formula (1), then

Royalty r = p× qi× r

=20×( 10000―200)×8%

= 15680

If the calculation is carried out according to formula (2), then

Royalty r = pw× qi× r

=20×0.65×( 10000―200)×8%

= 10 192

Question 3: The author's royalty ratio. The tax formula for royalty income is:

If the remuneration is less than 4,000 yuan each time, the tax amount = (remuneration-tax base) × tax rate;

If the remuneration is more than 4,000 yuan each time, the tax amount = remuneration × (1-20% )× tax rate. The tax base is 800 yuan, and the tax rate is 20%.

For books published by publishing houses, the author's royalties are generally 10% of the selling price.

Question 4: What is the 3 million royalty that the introducer often says? Royalties are not taxes, but royalties.

Generally speaking, in order to obtain the right to copy or perform a work, money will be paid to the inventor or creator of the work as a royalty.

If it is a book, the unit price of the book is multiplied by a certain proportion and then multiplied by the sales volume or printing volume of the book, and the royalty of 3 million is 3 million.

Question 5: What is the royalty percentage? The tax formula for royalty income is:

If the remuneration is less than 4,000 yuan each time, the tax amount = (remuneration-tax base) × tax rate;

If the remuneration is more than 4,000 yuan each time, the tax amount = remuneration × (1-20% )× tax rate. The tax base is 800 yuan, and the tax rate is 20%.

For books published by publishing houses, the author's royalties are generally 10% of the selling price.

Question 6: How much is the royalty for publishing a book? Let me give you an example:

Yi Zhongtian's popularity in the Three Kingdoms has sold more than 2 million copies, and it is revealed that his income is 5 million. This is another great figure after Han Han. In fact, a writer or a writer's work in China is successful if the sales volume is around 65,438+10,000.

Oh, I'm sorry, you said romantic. How do you say this kind of book? The concept of romance is vague. If you write such a good story as Love in a Fallen City, it will become a literary work. Royalties for such books are like dancing in the water upstairs, 3.5%-5%.

Royalties for pure romance will be around 2%-3%.

These data need to be verified. I think you can consult the publishing house, which will make you more confident.

Question 7: What is the average writer's annual income? According to the economic income and expenditure, Shanghai writers in 1930s can be divided into four grades: the minimum remuneration standard for four types of writers is 1~3 yuan. The monthly board fee is 40 yuan, which is equivalent to about RMB 1200 now. The remuneration standard of the three types of writers is 2~3 yuan, and their living expenses are about 120 yuan, which is equivalent to about 3,600 yuan today. Second-class writers have become famous, and their monthly income in 200 yuan is equivalent to about 6,000 yuan now. A class of writers is well qualified and famous. In addition to the remuneration for writing, there are royalties for publishing books. Their monthly income is above that of 400 yuan, which is equivalent to more than 65438+200,000 RMB today. Representative: Lu Xun

Lu Xun was one of the highest paid writers of that era. His income mainly comes from manuscript fees, royalties and salaries of various departments. According to the data, Lu Xun's royalty is 20%. Most of Lu Xun's works are published by Beixin Bookstore in Beijing. The total royalty paid by Beixin Bookstore to Lu Xun is more than 20,000 yuan, about 700,000 yuan today, which is almost the main royalty income that Lu Xun obtained in his life. Lu Xun's income from 19 12 to 1936 is estimated as a whole, and the average annual income is about180,000 RMB.

80' s: writers' income is relatively poor.

During this period, the writer's income mainly depended on the manuscript fee, bonus and writers' association salary. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), writers' associations at all levels were established one after another. As a national cadre, writers can receive a certain salary from writers' associations every month. The best period for writers' associations to provide professional writers is the monthly salary 1200 yuan, and there are various subsidies of 4,800 yuan every year. The contribution fee is an important source of writers in this period. Representative: Jason.

During this period, the income of writers was not plentiful, and some writers showed dissatisfaction. Zhang Jie said in her work "No More Lofty" that a friend told me recently that some colleagues regarded me as a petty vulgar generation for the following reasons: First, I directly asked the inviter for remuneration; Second, I have paid the manuscript fee in advance to October magazine; Three, for newspapers and periodicals that do not pay the manuscript fee in time or even do not pay the manuscript fee, it is required to implement the method of paying the manuscript with one hand.

From the late 1980s to the present: it is not a dream for writers to get rich.

These days, writers get rich overnight, and it is no longer a distant dream to have a million dollars. Writing fees, royalties, script adaptation, etc. Has become a golden rice bowl for writers. Jia Pingwa first attracted attention because of the high manuscript fee. In the previous paragraph, he wrote a column for a magazine, which cost 3 thousand yuan each, regardless of the number of words, and caused a discussion. Moreover, this payment standard can only be regarded as general among famous writers.

Representative: February River

According to Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House, they turned February River into a writer's millionaire through the power of the market, and the copyright income has exceeded 6,543,800 yuan.

For example, in 199 1 year, Cheung Kong Society got Yong Zhengdi's first book, and sold more than 10000 copies that year after its publication. In 2000, CCTV broadcast TV series adapted from novels, and Changjiang Society took the opportunity to raise the price of each set to 80 yuan, and sold as many as 250,000 sets that year. Only this novel, the Yangtze River Society * * * sold 500,000 sets, with a total code of about 2 million yuan, and paid a total of 6,543.8+0.5 million yuan to February River.

Question 8: How to calculate the royalty for writing a book? 1, complete the work and input/typesetting, design the cover, and make the manuscript neat, clear and final; 2. Submit directly to the editorial department of the publishing house or find an agent to publish your work; 3, by the publishing house or agent preliminary selected topics, manuscripts, signed a publishing contract or agency contract; 4. Pay related expenses: publishing management fee (ISBN fee) and editing fee (some publishing houses do not charge or are not included in the management fee); 5. Enter the publishing process (if the agency publishing is generally about one month or less); 6. After the manuscript review is completed, the publishing society will issue the book number, CIP, and order form. (Some of them have power of attorney); 7. Printing-distribution. As for the cost of publishing a book, it may cost more than 20 thousand. Generally speaking, the related expenses of publishing a book can be divided into: prepress design, publishing and printing, specifically: prepress design, recording arrangement (including film production), cover design (including film production), publishing, ISBN fee (management fee), editing fee, printing, cover printing (including paper, printing, film covering and post-production) and so on. Then the cost for a bookseller to run a book is: 1, ISBN 10000 ~ 15000 yuan, editing fee 0 ~ 2000 yuan, 10000 ~ 17000 yuan. 2. Contribution fee: 3000 ~ 1 ten thousand yuan. 3,000 yuan for design, recording and publishing. 4. Paper, printing and binding are 30,000 yuan. 5. Other expenses are 5,000 yuan (warehousing and logistics management, etc.). ) is the cost. Then the cost per share is 5.80 yuan. But they usually sell for about 60% off, that is, 10 yuan, 4.2 yuan profit. The profit of provincial wholesalers is 10%, and the rest are basically retail bookstores. As for individual publishing, the situation is more complicated. According to our experience, it is generally difficult for an individual author to make a profit when publishing a book for the first time, but there are many factors that determine whether a book is profitable, such as topic selection, content, packaging, marketing and channel development. It depends on how you operate it. As for publishing houses: if they are children's books and periodicals, they are China Children's Publishing House, China Children's Publishing House, and others can be used-Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House, Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House, People's Literature Publishing House, Beijing Yanshan Publishing House, or Zhuhai Publishing House. I hope it works for you. But I still hope to be cautious. Feel good, please adopt five stars!
