How to Use the Amazon FBA Profit Calculator
Selling on Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) is a powerful way to scale an e-commerce business, but the fees can be complex. Understanding your true net profit is the difference between a thriving business and a failing one. This calculator helps you break down every expense.
Key FBA Metrics Explained
- Referral Fee: This is Amazon's "commission" for selling on their platform. For most categories, this is 15% of the total selling price.
- Fulfillment Fee: This covers the picking, packing, and shipping of your product to the customer. It is based on the weight and dimensions of your product.
- COGS (Cost of Goods Sold): This is what you paid the manufacturer for the item.
- PPC Costs: Pay-Per-Click advertising is often necessary to rank on Page 1. We recommend calculating this as a "per unit" cost based on your total ad spend divided by units sold.
Example Calculation
Imagine you are selling a yoga mat for $35.00.
- Product Cost: $8.00
- Shipping to FBA: $1.50
- Referral Fee (15%): $5.25
- FBA Pick & Pack: $6.50
- Storage/PPC: $2.00
- Total Expenses: $23.25
- Net Profit: $11.75
- Margin: 33.5%
Why Margin Matters More Than Revenue
Many sellers focus on "top-line revenue," but revenue is a vanity metric. If you sell $100,000 a month but have a 2% margin, you are only making $2,000 profit while taking on massive inventory risk. A healthy FBA business typically aims for a 25% to 40% profit margin and a 100%+ ROI.
