Understanding Your Amazon FBA Profitability
Selling on Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) is a powerful way to scale an e-commerce business, but success depends entirely on your unit economics. Without a precise Amazon FBA Profit Calculator, hidden costs like storage fees and referral percentages can quickly erode your margins.
Key Components of the FBA Calculation
- Referral Fee: Amazon's "commission" for selling on their platform. Most categories charge 15%, though some range from 8% to 45%.
- Fulfillment Fee: This covers the picking, packing, and shipping of your orders. It is based on the weight and dimensions of your product.
- COGS (Cost of Goods Sold): The total cost to manufacture or purchase one unit of your product.
- Landed Cost: This includes COGS plus the shipping costs to get your inventory into Amazon's fulfillment centers.
FBA Profit Calculation Example
Let's say you are selling a kitchen gadget for $25.00:
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Product COGS | $5.00 |
| Shipping to Amazon | $1.00 |
| Amazon Referral Fee (15%) | $3.75 |
| FBA Fulfillment Fee | $4.50 |
| Net Profit | $10.75 |
Why Profit Margin and ROI Matter
Profit Margin tells you how much of every dollar of sales you keep. A healthy margin for FBA is typically between 20% and 30%. ROI (Return on Investment), however, measures the efficiency of your capital. If you spend $6.00 to make $10.75 in profit, your ROI is 179%, which is excellent for reinvesting in more inventory.
