How to Price a Coloring Book
Price too high and you lose the sale; too low and printing eats your royalty. Here is how to land on a number that works.
The typical range
Most coloring books sell between $6.99 and $12.99. Kids books cluster at the lower end; larger adult or specialty books sit higher. Anchor your price to comparable best-sellers in your exact niche, not to the category as a whole.
Cost and royalty
On KDP print-on-demand you earn a royalty (commonly ~60% of list price) minus a per-book printing cost that rises with page count and trim size. More pages = higher printing cost, so price has to clear that floor before you make anything.
Choosing the number
Set a price that beats your printing cost with a healthy margin, sits near the top sellers in your niche, and ends in a familiar .99. Test a couple of prices over a few weeks and keep the one that converts.
