Formula and Assumptions

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate FBA fees:

Total FBA Fees = (Fulfillment Fee Rate × Product Cost) + (Storage Fee Rate × Product Size Factor × Monthly Sales Volume)

The calculator makes the following assumptions:

  • Fulfillment fee rates are based on Amazon's current pricing for standard-size items
  • Storage fees are based on Amazon's current pricing for standard-size items
  • All calculations are based on Amazon's FBA program in the USA
  • Fees do not include optional services like removal orders or returns processing
  • Results are estimates only and may vary based on actual Amazon fees and your specific situation

Worked Example

Let's calculate the FBA fees for a product with the following details:

  • Cost to purchase: $10
  • Selling price: $25
  • Product size: Medium
  • Monthly sales volume: 50 units

Using the calculator:

  1. Enter $10 as the product cost
  2. Enter $25 as the selling price
  3. Select "Medium" as the product size
  4. Enter 50 as the monthly sales volume
  5. Click "Calculate"

The calculator will show:

  • Estimated fulfillment fees: $1.50 per unit
  • Estimated monthly storage fees: $0.25 per unit
  • Estimated total costs: $12.75 per unit
  • Estimated monthly profit: $1,125
  • Estimated profit margin: 45%

Interpreting Results

When using this calculator, keep these points in mind:

  1. The "Estimated fulfillment fees" show the average cost per unit for Amazon to pick, pack, and ship your product
  2. The "Estimated storage fees" show the monthly cost to store your product in Amazon's fulfillment centers
  3. "Estimated total costs" combines fulfillment and storage fees with your product cost
  4. "Estimated monthly profit" shows how much you could earn if you sell the calculated number of units
  5. The "Estimated profit margin" helps you understand how profitable your product is relative to your costs
