Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formulas to determine profitability:

Referral Fee: 15% of product price

Fulfillment Fee: Based on product size and weight (varies by Amazon's fee schedule)

Storage Fee: $0.50 per cubic foot per month

Net Profit: (Selling Price - Cost - Referral Fee - Fulfillment Fee - Storage Fee) × Quantity Sold

ROI: (Net Profit / Total Investment) × 100

Break-even Point: Total Investment / (Selling Price - Cost - Referral Fee - Fulfillment Fee - Storage Fee)

The calculator automatically applies Amazon's current fee structure for the USA. For precise calculations, always refer to Amazon's official fee schedule.

Worked Example

Let's calculate profitability for a $20 product with a cost of $5, sold at 100 units per month.

Metric	Value
Selling Price	$20
Cost per Unit	$5
Referral Fee	$3 (15% of $20)
Fulfillment Fee	$2.50 (estimated for medium-sized product)
Storage Fee	$0.50 (estimated for 1 cubic foot)
Total Cost per Unit	$11 ($5 + $3 + $2.50 + $0.50)
Net Profit per Unit	$9 ($20 - $11)
Monthly Net Profit	$900 ($9 × 100 units)
ROI	180% (($900 / $500) × 100)
Break-even Point	55 units ($500 / $9)

This example shows strong profitability with a high ROI, but actual results may vary based on your specific product and market conditions.
