Understanding Your Amazon FBA Profitability
Selling on Amazon using Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is a powerful way to scale an e-commerce business, but calculating your true take-home pay can be complex. Between Referral Fees, FBA Fulfillment Fees, and storage costs, your gross revenue is often much higher than your net profit.
Key Metrics Explained
- Net Profit: This is the amount of money you keep after all Amazon fees, product manufacturing costs, and shipping expenses have been deducted from the sale price.
- Profit Margin: Expressed as a percentage, this shows how much of every dollar of revenue is actual profit. A margin of 20-30% is generally considered healthy in the FBA world.
- Return on Investment (ROI): This measures the efficiency of your capital. It compares your profit to the cost of the inventory. A 100% ROI means you doubled your money.
The Amazon Fee Structure
To use this calculator effectively, you should understand the primary fees involved:
| Fee Type | Typical Cost | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Referral Fee | 8% – 15% | Amazon's commission for finding the customer. |
| Fulfillment Fee | $3.00 – $6.00+ | Covers picking, packing, and shipping to the buyer. |
| Monthly Storage | $0.75+ / cu ft | Cost for keeping products in Amazon warehouses. |
Real-World Example
Imagine you sell a Yoga Mat for $40.00. Your manufacturing cost is $10.00, and it costs $2.00 to ship it to Amazon's warehouse. Amazon charges a 15% referral fee ($6.00) and an FBA fulfillment fee of $5.50. After accounting for $0.50 in storage fees:
Total Costs: $10 (COGS) + $2 (Ship) + $6 (Referral) + $5.50 (FBA) + $0.50 (Storage) = $24.00
Net Profit: $40.00 – $24.00 = $16.00
Profit Margin: 40%
ROI: 133%
Net Profit: $40.00 – $24.00 = $16.00
