Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Amazon referral fee?
Amazon charges a referral fee on every sale — a percentage of the total selling price (including any shipping charged to the customer). Rates vary by category: typically 8% for electronics, 15% for most categories, and up to 20% for jewelry. This fee is the largest Amazon cost for most sellers.
What is the FBA fulfillment fee?
The FBA fulfillment fee covers Amazon picking, packing, and shipping your product to the customer. It is based on the product's size tier and weight. Small standard items (under 16 oz) start around $3.06, while oversized items can be $9–$90+. Find your exact fee in Amazon's FBA fee schedule or the FBA Revenue Calculator.
What is a good profit margin for Amazon FBA?
Most successful FBA sellers target a net margin of 20–30%+ and an ROI of 50–100%+ per unit. A margin below 10% is generally considered too thin after accounting for returns, fee changes, and competition. Margins above 30% offer a strong buffer and room to run profitable PPC campaigns.
How do I find my FBA fee?
Use Amazon's FBA Revenue Calculator (available in Seller Central) and enter your product's ASIN or dimensions/weight. The calculator shows the exact FBA fulfillment fee for your product. Alternatively, Amazon publishes a detailed FBA fee schedule by size tier and weight that you can reference.
Should I include PPC costs in my profit calculation?
Yes, absolutely. PPC (pay-per-click advertising) is a real cost of selling on Amazon and should always be included in your unit economics. A product may appear profitable before PPC but lose money once advertising spend is factored in. Use your actual ACoS (Advertising Cost of Sales) or estimated CPC to calculate per-unit ad spend.
Does this calculator include Amazon's closing fee or variable closing fee?
Variable closing fees apply specifically to media products (books, music, video, video games, software, and video game consoles) sold in the US — currently $1.80 per unit. If you sell media products, add this to the 'Other Fees' field. For non-media products, there is no variable closing fee.
