On KDP, your royalty depends on your format. For an ebook, you choose between 35% and 70%: the 70% rate applies within a given price range and deducts delivery fees depending on file size. Outside that range, it's 35%.
For a paperback, the royalty is 60% of the list price excluding tax, minus the printing cost. That cost rises with the page count, and color costs noticeably more than black and white.
Use this calculator to test several prices before you publish. Keep in mind these are estimates: rate cards change, and VAT or promotions alter the real result. This calculator uses amazon.fr rates, in euros.
