How to use this calculator

Enter your selling price, product cost, referral fee rate, and combined FBA fulfillment, PPC, storage, inbound shipping, and expected return cost.

The result shows unit profit, Amazon fee impact, margin, and a monthly projection at 100 units.

What the result means

A healthy FBA product should leave enough margin after Amazon fees and PPC to absorb storage delays, return losses, and pricing pressure.

FBA Net Profit = Selling Price − Product Cost − Referral Fee − FBA/PPC/Storage Costs

Use actual category referral fees and fulfillment fees when available. This tool is a planning estimate, not an Amazon statement replacement.

Example calculation

A $50 product with $18 cost, 15% referral fee, and $12 combined FBA/PPC/storage cost leaves about $12.50 profit per unit, or 25% margin.

Tips for better results

  • Watch PPC cost as a percentage of selling price.
  • Keep inventory turnover high to avoid storage pressure.
  • Check category referral fees before sourcing.
  • Reprice products when fulfillment fees increase.

FAQ

How much profit do Amazon FBA sellers make per sale?

Profit per FBA sale equals selling price minus product cost, referral fee, fulfillment fee, storage, inbound shipping, PPC, and expected return costs.

How do Amazon referral fees affect profit?

Referral fees reduce each sale by a category-based percentage, so a 15% fee on a $50 product costs $7.50 before fulfillment and other expenses.

What is a good Amazon FBA margin?

Many sellers aim for at least 20% net margin after FBA fees and PPC. Below 10% is risky because returns, storage, and ad volatility can erase profit.

How much should I spend on Amazon PPC?

PPC should be evaluated against margin and contribution profit. If ad cost consumes most of the gross margin, the product may not scale profitably.

How do I reduce Amazon FBA fees?

Reduce size and weight, improve inventory turnover, optimize packaging, lower return rates, and avoid products where referral and fulfillment fees consume margin.
