These are provider minimums, not a typography target. Use more space where the book design needs it, and recheck KDP before final submission.

What the result is useful for

Use this before setting the document page size so exported pages align with KDP’s trim/bleed model rather than adding bleed to the binding edge incorrectly.

How the calculation works

For KDP bleed interiors: page width = trim width + 0.125 in and page height = trim height + 0.25 in. No-bleed interior page size equals trim size.

What this calculator cannot know

This calculates page geometry only. Margin/gutter requirements, supported trim sizes, fonts, images and PDF submission rules still apply and should be checked separately.
