How to Calculate Amazon FBA Profits
Understanding your Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) profit margins is critical for any e-commerce business. To determine your take-home pay, you must subtract all Amazon fees and operational costs from your gross sales price.
Key Components of FBA Math:
- Unit Cost (COGS): The price you paid the manufacturer to produce the item.
- Inbound Shipping: The cost to ship your inventory from your warehouse or supplier to Amazon's fulfillment centers.
- Amazon Referral Fee: Typically 15% of the total sales price, charged by Amazon for the privilege of selling on their marketplace.
- FBA Fulfillment Fee: The flat fee charged per unit to pick, pack, and ship your item to the customer. This depends on weight and dimensions.
- Monthly Storage: Amazon charges a fee based on the volume (cubic feet) your product occupies in their warehouse.
The Formulas:
Net Profit = Sales Price – (COGS + Shipping + Referral Fee + FBA Fee + Storage)
Net Margin = (Net Profit / Sales Price) * 100
ROI = (Net Profit / COGS) * 100
Example Calculation
If you sell a yoga mat for $40.00:
- Product Cost: $10.00
- Inbound Shipping: $2.00
- Amazon Referral Fee (15%): $6.00
- FBA Fulfillment Fee: $5.50
- Storage Fee: $0.50
Your total costs would be $24.00. Your net profit would be $16.00. This represents a 40% profit margin and a 160% ROI.
