How is a writer's income calculated?
There were many ways to calculate a writer's income. ** 1. Calculating the remuneration of the author ** The publishing firm would take into account the quality, length, economic value, and other factors of the work, and pay the author a one-time fee to buy out all the rights to the work. This was the calculation method of outright remuneration. The one-time fee the author received was the income. ** 2. Royalty calculation ** 1. ** Basic Royalty Calculation ** - Royalty = book price x number of copies x royalty rate. For example, if a book is priced at 99 yuan, the number of copies released is 10000, and the royalty rate is assumed to be 10%, then the royalty income = 99×10000×10% = 99000 yuan. 2. ** Royalty calculation for different publishing situations ** - If the same work is published under different circumstances: - Every time an individual published the same work in the form of books or newspapers, regardless of whether the publishing unit paid the remuneration in advance or in portions, or paid the remuneration after reprinting the work, the income from the remuneration shall be combined and levied individual income tax on a one-time basis. - If the same work is published, published, or reprinted (revised) in two or more places and the remuneration is obtained, then the income obtained in different places or the reprint (revision) income can be calculated according to the income of the two places or more. - If an individual's work is serialised in a newspaper, all the remuneration obtained from the serialisation shall be combined into one time, and individual income tax shall be levied according to the provisions of the tax law. The income from publishing a book after it is serialized, or the income from publishing a book before it is serialized, shall be regarded as the remuneration for republishing the book, and the individual income tax shall be levied separately.

If the income does not exceed 4000 yuan each time, the amount of tax should be paid =(the amount of income each time- 800)×20%×(1 - 30%). 2. If the income is more than 4000 yuan each time, the amount of tax should be paid = the amount of income each time ×(1 - 20%)×20%×(1 - 30%).

The income of an online writer
The income of an online writer depended on many factors, including the popularity of the work, the number of platform downloads, the word count, publication, and adaptation. Some well-known web novelists could earn a very high income, such as the authors of novels such as " Battle Through the Heavens " and " The Selection of the Heavens." The income also depended on the platform the writer was on and the type of work. Online writers needed to constantly improve their writing skills and creativity to attract more readers and earn more income.
The income of an online writer
The income of web writers varied greatly. Some well-known online writers, such as the Tang Family's Third Young Master, had extremely high royalty income from 2012 to 2018. In 2012, they became the "king of online writers" with the strongest ability to attract money with a total royalty income of 33 million yuan for five years. By 2018, they topped the list with a royalty income of 130 million yuan. For ordinary web novelists, their income was affected by many factors. If he wrote at Seven Cats, he would earn 31 yuan per thousand words. If he wrote for one or two hours a day, his monthly income would be about 3800 yuan. If he wrote at Qidian, his monthly income would be about 2700 yuan. If he wrote at Tomato, his monthly income would be about 3000 yuan (about 300 yuan after tax deduction). Some writers could earn up to 1800 yuan on the platform on a certain day, but this might be the highest income in a year or even a few years. The overall income fluctuated in a wavy line. From the perspective of newcomers, when publishing a new book on the website, they needed to sign a contract, steadily update more than 4000 words a day, and the number of words needed to reach more than 100,000 words. Only then could the website start recommending the book to earn royalties. The final amount of money earned depended on the quality of the novel itself, such as whether it was attractive, the number of readers, the statistics, and so on. The more readers, the better the data, the more the website gave and the more recommendation spots, the more the author's fee would be. There were also writers who could enjoy the website's "Full-attendance Award" or different treatment of royalties. Some "great gods" who entered the industry earlier could enjoy "guaranteed" benefits such as 50 yuan per thousand words and 100 yuan per thousand words. There were also writers who created their own accounts. In this case, the amount of income depended on luck.
