Formula Used

Where:

• COGS = Cost of Goods Sold (what you pay for the product)
• Selling Price = Price you sell the product for on Amazon
• Amazon Fees = Estimated fees based on product category and selling price
• Shipping Cost = Estimated shipping cost based on product weight

Note: This is an estimate only. Actual profits may vary based on your specific situation and Amazon's fee structure.

Worked Example

Let's say you want to sell a $20 product on Amazon. You estimate your cost to be $10, and your product weighs 1 pound. Here's how the calculation would work:

In this example, your net profit would be just $0.02. This shows how important it is to carefully consider your pricing strategy when selling on Amazon.

Assumptions

The calculator makes the following assumptions:

• Amazon referral fees are based on the standard 15% rate
• Variable closing fees are estimated at $0.30 per item
• Shipping costs are based on USPS First Class Package rates
• All calculations are for the USA market only
• Product dimensions are not factored into shipping costs

These assumptions may not apply to your specific situation. Always verify actual fees and costs with Amazon's current fee schedule.
