Amazon Seller Fee Calculator: Maximize Your Profits with Accurate Fee Estimation

Introduction

Selling on Amazon offers immense opportunities, but success depends on understanding the platform's cost structure. Various fees, including referral fees, fulfillment costs, and storage charges, directly impact your profitability. Without a precise breakdown of these expenses, sellers may struggle to price their products competitively and maintain healthy margins. Our Amazon Seller Fee Calculator provides a comprehensive tool to analyze and optimize your costs, ensuring that you maximize earnings while staying ahead of expenses.

What Are Amazon Fees?

Amazon imposes multiple fees on sellers, and understanding them is essential for strategic pricing and profitability. The key charges include:

1. Referral Fees

Every sale on Amazon incurs a referral fee, a commission based on a percentage of the total selling price. This fee varies depending on the product category, typically ranging from 8% to 45%.

2. Closing Fees

For specific media-related items such as books, DVDs, and video games, Amazon applies a flat closing fee in addition to the referral fee.

3. Subscription Fees

Amazon offers two selling plans:

  • Individual Plan: No monthly fee but charges a per-item selling fee.
  • Professional Plan: A fixed monthly subscription fee ($39.99 in the US, £25 in the UK), offering additional benefits such as bulk listing and access to advertising tools.

4. Fulfillment Fees (FBA)

For sellers using Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA), Amazon handles storage, packaging, and shipping, but it charges fees based on product weight and dimensions.

5. Storage Fees

Amazon charges for storing inventory in its warehouses. These costs vary based on storage duration, product size, and peak vs. non-peak periods.

6. High-Volume Listing Fees

For sellers listing a large number of products (typically over 100,000 SKUs), Amazon applies a per-SKU charge to ensure efficient platform management.

7.Refund Administration Fees

If a customer returns an item, Amazon retains a portion of the referral fee as a refund administration charge.

8. Long-Term Storage Fees

Inventory that remains in Amazon’s fulfillment centers for over 365 days incurs additional long-term storage fees.
