How to Use the Amazon FBA Profit Calculator
Success on Amazon hinges on understanding your "true" net profit after all hidden fees. This Amazon FBA Fee Calculator is designed to help sellers determine if a product is viable before sourcing. By inputting your manufacturing costs, Amazon's take, and fulfillment expenses, you can avoid the trap of selling high volumes with zero profit.
Understanding Key FBA Metrics
- Referral Fee: This is the commission Amazon takes for every sale. For most categories, this is 15%, but it can range from 8% to 45%.
- Fulfillment Fee (Pick & Pack): The cost for Amazon to store, pack, and ship your product. This is based on the weight and dimensions of your item.
- COGS (Cost of Goods Sold): The total cost to manufacture or purchase one unit of your product.
- PPC Spend: Your marketing costs. If you spend $200 to sell 100 units, your PPC cost per unit is $2.00.
If you sell a yoga mat for $35.00, and it costs $10.00 to make, $2.00 to ship to Amazon, and Amazon charges a $5.25 referral fee plus a $6.00 FBA fee, your net profit (before ads) would be $11.75 per unit.
3 Tips for Improving Your FBA Profit Margins
1. Optimize Packaging: Amazon's FBA fees are tier-based. Shrinking your product packaging by even half an inch could move you into a lower shipping tier, saving you dollars per unit.
2. Bundle Products: Since the FBA fulfillment fee is charged per order, bundling two units together allows you to pay one fulfillment fee instead of two, significantly boosting your margin.
3. Watch Your Storage: Amazon increases storage fees during Q4 (October–December). Ensure your inventory turnover is high to avoid "Aged Inventory Surcharges."
