How to Calculate Amazon FBA Profit
Selling on Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) offers incredible scale, but the fee structure can be complex. To understand your true take-home pay, you must look beyond the gross sale price. Our Amazon FBA Profit Calculator simplifies this by aggregating all costs associated with sourcing and selling.
Key Components of the FBA Fee Structure
- Referral Fee: This is essentially a commission Amazon takes for bringing you the customer. For most categories (like electronics, home, and clothing), this is 15%.
- Fulfillment Fee: This covers the cost of picking, packing, and shipping your product from the Amazon warehouse to the customer's doorstep. It is based on the weight and dimensions of your product.
- Monthly Storage Fees: Amazon charges you for every cubic foot of space your inventory occupies in their fulfillment centers. These fees increase significantly during the Q4 holiday season.
Realistic Example of FBA Margins
Imagine you are private labeling a Yoga Mat:
- Sale Price: $35.00
- Cost of Goods (COGS): $9.00
- Shipping to Amazon: $1.50 per unit
- Amazon Referral Fee (15%): $5.25
- FBA Fulfillment Fee: $6.50
- Monthly Storage: $0.40
In this scenario, your total expenses are $22.65. Your Net Profit is $12.35 per unit, resulting in a 35.2% Profit Margin and an ROI of 117.6%.
Three Tips for Higher Profitability
- Optimize Packaging: Because FBA fees are based on dimensions, even reducing your box size by half an inch could move your product into a lower fee tier, saving you thousands per year.
- Monitor IPI Scores: Maintain a high Inventory Performance Index to avoid "Aged Inventory Surcharges" which can destroy your margins on slow-moving stock.
- Negotiate Sourcing: As your volume grows, negotiate with your manufacturer. A $1 reduction in manufacturing cost goes directly to your bottom line as pure profit.
