Understanding Amazon FBA Fees

Selling on Amazon through their Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) program offers convenience and access to Prime customers, but it comes with associated fees. Understanding these fees is crucial for accurate pricing and profitability. This calculator helps estimate common FBA fees, primarily focusing on Fulfillment Fees and Monthly Inventory Storage Fees.

FBA Fulfillment Fees

This fee covers the cost of picking, packing, and shipping your products to customers, as well as customer service and returns processing. The fee is based primarily on the shipment size tier and weight of the product. Amazon categorizes products into different size tiers (e.g., Standard-Size, Oversize) and within those, weight bands.

How it's calculated: Amazon uses the greater of the dimensional weight (Length x Width x Height, divided by a dimensional factor) or the actual weight to determine the applicable fee. For this calculator, we've simplified it by using the provided product weight and a basic dimensional calculation to estimate the fee tier.

  • Dimensional Weight: Calculated as (Length cm * Width cm * Height cm) / 5000 (for a general approximation of Amazon's cubic foot calculation).
  • Billable Weight: The greater of the actual weight (kg) or the dimensional weight (kg).
  • The billable weight is then matched against Amazon's fee chart (which can change, so this calculator provides an estimate) to determine the fulfillment fee.

Monthly Inventory Storage Fees

This fee is charged for storing your products in Amazon's fulfillment centers. It's calculated based on the average daily volume (cubic feet) of your inventory each month and the storage duration (e.g., standard vs. dangerous goods, and seasonal surcharges). Fees vary by month and product size.

  • Average Daily Volume: Calculated as (Length cm * Width cm * Height cm) / 28317 (to convert cubic cm to cubic feet).
  • This volume is multiplied by a per-cubic-foot monthly storage rate. Rates vary by product size tier and time of year.

Other Potential FBA Fees

This calculator does not include all possible fees. Other fees you might encounter include:

  • Removal Order Fees: Charged when you ask Amazon to ship inventory back to you or dispose of it.
  • Returns Processing Fees: Sometimes charged for returned items.
  • Long-Term Storage Fees: Applied to inventory that has been in fulfillment centers for over 365 days.
  • Oversize Fees: Higher fees for very large or heavy items.
  • Dangerous Goods Fees: For items requiring special handling.

Disclaimer: Amazon's fee structure is subject to change. Always refer to the official Amazon Seller Central documentation for the most up-to-date and precise fee information. This calculator is an estimation tool.
