Amazon FBA Calculator (2026 fees)
The full stack, not just referral + fulfillment: category-tiered referral fees, the April 2026 fuel surcharge, storage, inbound placement, plan fees, ads and returns — ending in the two numbers that run your listing: break-even price and break-even ACoS.
Per-sale breakdown
Break-even ACoS = profit before ads ÷ price. Campaigns above it lose money. Break-even price holds every other input constant.
Amazon's 2026 fee stack, in order
Referral fee. Charged on price + shipping + gift wrap, minimum $0.30. Most categories are 15%; electronics and computers are 8%; grocery and beauty drop to 8% at low price points; clothing is tiered 5% / 10% / 17% by price; jewelry pays 20% on the first $250 and 5% above. Media categories add a $1.80 closing fee.
FBA fulfillment fee. Set by size tier and weight, revised January 2026 (about +$0.08 per unit on standard sizes). This calculator uses the published $10–$50 price-band schedule; items under $10 get a lower band in Seller Central. Since April 17, 2026, a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge is added on top of the fulfillment fee.
Storage. Standard-size inventory costs $0.78 per cubic foot per month January–September and $2.40 in Q4. Enter your dimensions and average months stored; we spread it per unit sold. Aged-inventory surcharges (after 181+ days) are not modeled — keep stock turning.
The quiet ones. Inbound placement fees (per unit, when Amazon splits your shipment), the $39.99 Professional plan spread over your monthly units, ad spend as a share of price, and returns. A return is modeled as losing the landed product cost plus the outbound fulfillment — Amazon's percentage fees come back, the product usually doesn't.
FAQ
How much does Amazon take from a $30 sale? For a typical Home & Kitchen FBA product, about $9–$11 in Amazon fees alone — try it above with your own weight and category.
Is FBA or FBM cheaper? Switch the Method selector: FBM drops fulfillment, storage and placement, but you pay your own shipping and lose the plan split advantage at volume. For light products under ~$15, FBM with cheap postage often wins; for everything else FBA's shipping rates are hard to beat.
Why does my Seller Central number differ? Exact fulfillment fees depend on your product's price band and dimensional weight, and referral can vary by subcategory. Treat this as a planning estimate and verify a new ASIN in Amazon's revenue calculator before ordering stock.
