Amazon FBA Profit Formula

Amazon FBA sellers pay three core fees on every sale: a referral fee (a percentage of the sale price that varies by category, with a $0.30 minimum), an FBA fulfillment fee (based on the product's size tier and weight), and a monthly storage fee (based on how much warehouse space your inventory occupies). Your net profit per unit is what remains after subtracting your product cost, inbound shipping, and all three Amazon fees.

Referral Fee = max(Selling Price × Referral Fee %, $0.30)
Fulfillment Fee = Size Tier Base Fee + (Weight Over Threshold × Per-Ounce Rate)
Total Fees = Referral Fee + Fulfillment Fee + Monthly Storage Fee per Unit
Net Profit per Unit = Selling Price − Product Cost − Inbound Shipping − Total Fees
Profit Margin % = (Net Profit per Unit ÷ Selling Price) × 100
ROI % = (Net Profit per Unit ÷ (Product Cost + Inbound Shipping)) × 100

Fulfillment fees are estimated using representative 2026 size-tier base rates (Small Standard, Large Standard, Large Bulky) plus a per-ounce rate for weight above each tier's base allowance. Actual fees depend on exact dimensions, weight, and Amazon's published rate card, which is updated periodically and includes seasonal surcharges.

Operational Guide

How to Use the Amazon FBA Profit Calculator

1

Enter your selling price and product cost

Selling price is what the customer pays on the Amazon listing. Product cost is your landed unit cost from your supplier.

2

Enter your inbound shipping cost per unit

This is the cost to ship your inventory from your supplier or warehouse into an Amazon fulfillment center, divided by the number of units in the shipment.

3

Select your product category

This sets the referral fee percentage Amazon charges — most categories are 15%, but Electronics is 8%, Clothing is 17%, and Jewelry is 20%.

4

Choose a size tier and enter item weight

Small Standard covers small lightweight items, Large Standard covers most boxed products up to 20 lb, and Large Bulky covers oversized items.

5

Enter your monthly storage fee per unit and units sold per month

Use Amazon's published storage rate (around $0.78/cubic ft in Jan–Sep, $2.40/cubic ft in Oct–Dec) multiplied by your product's cubic footage, or enter your actual fee from Seller Central.
