How Amazon FBA Fees Work
Selling on Amazon via Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) involves several costs that impact your bottom line. To accurately predict your profitability, you must account for the following main fee types:
- Referral Fees: This is essentially Amazon's "commission." Most categories charge a flat 15% of the total selling price, though some electronics or luxury items vary between 8% and 45%.
- Fulfillment Fees: These are the costs for Amazon to pick, pack, and ship your product. These fees are determined by the weight and dimensions of your product.
- Storage Fees: Amazon charges monthly fees to store your inventory in their warehouses. These increase during Q4 (October – December).
Understanding the Calculation
The core formula used by our calculator is:
Net Profit = Selling Price – (COGS + Shipping to Amazon + Referral Fee + Fulfillment Fee)
Example FBA Calculation
If you sell a yoga mat for $40.00:
- Product Cost: $10.00
- Shipping to Amazon: $2.00
- Referral Fee (15%): $6.00
- Fulfillment Fee (Large Standard): $6.50
- Total Profit: $15.50
- Profit Margin: 38.75%
Tips to Improve FBA Margins
To maximize your Amazon business, consider optimizing your packaging to drop into a lower size tier. Even a fraction of an inch can save you $1.00+ per unit in fulfillment fees. Additionally, focus on products with a minimum 3:1 ratio (Sale Price is 3x the Cost of Goods) to ensure enough room for marketing and overhead.
