What fees does Amazon FBA charge?
FBA fees include: a referral fee (a percentage of selling price, typically 8–15% depending on category), a fulfillment fee (based on product size tier and weight), and monthly storage fees. Some categories also have closing fees.
What is a good profit margin for Amazon FBA?
Experienced FBA sellers target 20–30% net margin after all fees and COGS. Below 15% leaves insufficient room for PPC advertising and unexpected costs like returns, promotions, or storage surcharges.
How do I calculate my break-even price on Amazon?
Add cost of goods + shipping to FBA + Amazon fees (referral + fulfillment + storage). The sum is your break-even. Your selling price must be higher than this to generate profit.
Does the calculator include advertising costs?
No — enter your PPC spend manually in the additional costs field. Your net margin should account for advertising to give a realistic picture of per-unit profitability.
