Formula Used
Referral Fee
Referral Fee = Selling Price × Referral Fee Percentage
The referral fee percentage varies by product category (typically 15% for most categories).
Variable Closing Fee
Variable Closing Fee = Selling Price × Variable Closing Fee Percentage
The variable closing fee percentage varies by product category (typically 1-2% for most categories).
Fulfillment Fee
Fulfillment Fee = Weight × Weight-Based Fee + Size-Based Fee
The weight-based fee varies by fulfillment center location, and the size-based fee varies by product size.
Monthly Storage Fee
Monthly Storage Fee = Number of Units × Storage Fee per Unit
The storage fee per unit varies by product size and fulfillment center.
Total Estimated Profit
Total Estimated Profit = (Selling Price × Number of Units) - (Referral Fee + Variable Closing Fee + Fulfillment Fee + Monthly Storage Fee)
Note
These calculations are estimates and may vary based on actual Amazon fees and your specific situation. Always refer to Amazon's official fee schedule for the most accurate information.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the estimated profit for a product with the following details:
- Selling Price: $25
- Product Category: General Merchandise
- Weight: 1 pound
- Fulfillment Center: USA
- Number of Units: 100
| Fee Type | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Referral Fee | $25 × 15% | $3.75 |
| Variable Closing Fee | $25 × 1.5% | $0.375 |
| Fulfillment Fee | 1 lb × $3.10 + $0.30 | $3.40 |
| Monthly Storage Fee | 100 × $0.50 | $50.00 |
| Total Estimated Profit | ($25 × 100) - ($3.75 + $0.375 + $3.40 + $50) | $1,941.475 |
In this example, the total estimated profit is $1,941.48 after accounting for all fees and storage costs.
