How to use this calculator

Enter the selling price, referral fee percentage, FBA fulfillment fee, and estimated storage or platform fee. The calculator shows the total fee and the payout left before product cost.

What the result means

Fee ratio shows how much of your selling price is consumed by Amazon-related charges. A high ratio may require a price increase, smaller package, or different fulfillment approach.

Total Amazon fee = Selling price × Referral fee rate + FBA fee + storage fee. Net payout = Selling price − Total Amazon fee.

Actual fees vary by category, size tier, weight, country, and promotion type.

Example calculation

A $50 item with a 15% referral fee, $5.50 FBA fee, and $0.75 storage allowance has $13.75 in estimated Amazon fees and a 27.5% fee ratio.

Tips for better results

  • Check the category referral fee before sourcing.
  • Avoid oversized packaging when possible.
  • Sell through inventory before long-term storage fees apply.
  • Compare FBA and FBM for bulky products.
  • Review fee changes after Amazon updates size tiers.

FAQ

How much does Amazon charge sellers per sale?

Amazon usually charges a referral fee plus fulfillment or other service fees. The exact amount depends on category, selling price, size, weight, and fulfillment method.

What Amazon fees are deducted from every sale?

Common deductions include referral fees, FBA fulfillment fees, storage fees, closing fees in some categories, and refund-related adjustments.

How do FBA storage fees work for Amazon sellers?

FBA storage fees are based on the space inventory occupies and can increase during peak periods or when inventory remains unsold for a long time.

Why are my Amazon seller fees so high?

Fees can be high because of oversized packaging, low selling price, expensive category referral rates, slow inventory turnover, or additional fulfillment services.

How can I reduce Amazon seller fees?

Reduce package size, improve inventory turnover, avoid long-term storage, reprice low-margin items, and compare FBA with merchant fulfillment where practical.
