Amazon FBA fee calculator
Work out your profit per unit after Amazon’s referral fee, fulfilment fee, storage and plan fee. Pick your category, enter the FBA fee for your product and see your margin and the price you need.
How to use the Amazon FBA Calculator
- STEP 1
Enter price and cost
Put in your selling price, what the product costs you landed, and any prep or packaging cost per unit.
- STEP 2
Choose category and plan
The category sets the referral fee. Pick Professional or Individual and how many units you sell a month.
- STEP 3
Add the FBA fee
Enter the fulfilment fee for your product size and weight from Amazon’s revenue calculator, plus storage and ad spend.
The fees Amazon takes
The referral fee is a percentage of the total price, including shipping, with a minimum of $0.30 on most categories. Most categories are 15%, but it ranges from 8% for computers and consumer electronics to 45% for Amazon device accessories. Some categories use a tiered rate, such as 20% on jewelry up to $250 and 5% above, and clothing is 5%, 10% or 17% depending on price.
Media items also pay a $1.80 closing fee. On top of that you pay either $39.99 a month on the Professional plan or $0.99 per item on the Individual plan. The Professional plan works out cheaper once you sell more than about 40 items a month.
Why you enter the FBA fee yourself
The FBA fulfilment fee depends on your product’s size tier and weight, and Amazon changes the table regularly, so a fixed number here would often be wrong. Look your product up in Amazon’s free revenue calculator, then enter the fulfilment fee it shows. The calculator reminds you if the field is still empty, because profit is overstated until it is filled in.
Storage and advertising are also per-product costs. Enter the storage fee per unit and your average advertising cost of sale to see the true margin, not just the margin before ads.
Worked example
You sell a Home and Kitchen item for $25 on the Professional plan, selling 100 units a month. The item cost you $8 and Amazon’s FBA fee for it is $3.50.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Buyer pays you (price + shipping) | $25.00 |
| Referral fee | −$3.75 |
| Professional plan (per unit) | −$0.40 |
| FBA fulfilment fee | −$3.50 |
| Paid out after fees | $17.35 |
| Your costs (item, postage, other) | −$8.00 |
| Profit | $9.35 (37.4% margin) |
Total fees are $7.65, which is 30.6% of what the buyer pays.
