How to Use the Amazon FBA Profit Calculator
Understanding your exact profit margins is the difference between a successful Amazon business and a failing one. This Amazon FBA calculator accounts for the various fees Amazon deducts from every sale, helping you determine if a product is worth sourcing.
Key Definitions for Sellers
- Referral Fee: This is the commission Amazon takes for bringing you the customer. For most categories, this is 15% of the total sales price.
- Fulfillment Fee: This covers the cost of picking, packing, and shipping your product from Amazon's warehouse to the customer. This varies by product size and weight.
- Cost of Goods (COGS): The total price you paid the manufacturer for the product, including packaging.
- ROI (Return on Investment): Calculated as (Net Profit / Total Investment). This shows you how much money you make back for every dollar spent on inventory and shipping.
Example Calculation
Let's say you find a product to sell for $30.00.
- Product Cost: $8.00
- Shipping to FBA: $1.00
- Amazon Referral Fee (15%): $4.50
- Fulfillment Fee: $5.50
- Monthly Storage: $0.20
Your Total Expenses would be $19.20. Your Net Profit would be $10.80. This results in a 36% Profit Margin and a 120% ROI.
Strategies to Increase FBA Profits
To maximize your margins, consider these three strategies:
- Optimize Packaging: Reducing the weight or dimensions of your product can drop you into a lower FBA fulfillment fee tier.
- Bulk Shipping: Ship larger quantities to Amazon via LTL (Less Than Truckload) to reduce the per-unit shipping cost.
- Improve Sourcing: Negotiate with manufacturers for volume discounts once you have consistent sales velocity.
