As a publisher that uses ACX/Audible, it's REALLY hard to figure out how much they should be paying you. When I look at my Sales Dashboard, there's no monetary figure. It's also set to Lifetime Earnings, instead of the current month, which is just weird.
Sales are broken down into AL Units, ALOP units, ALC units, Net returns, and Net Sales units. Again, these show the # of units, but not the rate you're being paid for them.
You do receive a Royalty report for each month, but it comes 2 months after the close of that month (my December one is the latest available). It does have dollar values, but it's hard to figure out how they arrived at their numbers. It's generally related to how long the book is (longer = more money), and whether the books were bought on some kind of sale (no visibility).
You kind of just have to trust ACX.
