Calculate Amazon FBA fees for your products with our USA FBA Calculator. Estimate referral fees, fulfillment fees, and total costs for selling on Amazon.

How the USA FBA Calculator Works

The USA FBA Calculator helps Amazon sellers estimate their Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) fees. FBA is Amazon's service that stores, picks, packs, and ships your products for you.

This calculator estimates the following key fees:

  • Referral fees (15% of the product's sale price)
  • Fulfillment fees (variable based on product size and weight)
  • Monthly inventory storage fees
  • Long-term storage fees (if inventory stays for more than 365 days)

The calculator provides a detailed breakdown of all fees and shows the total estimated cost per unit sold.

Formula Used

The USA FBA Calculator uses the following formulas to calculate the fees:

Referral Fee = Product Price × 15% Fulfillment Fee = Size-Tier Fee + Weight-Tier Fee Total FBA Fee per Unit = Referral Fee + Fulfillment Fee Monthly Storage Fee = (Average Monthly Inventory × Storage Fee per Cubic Foot) × 30 Long-Term Storage Fee = (Units Stored for >365 Days × Long-Term Storage Fee per Unit) Total Estimated Cost = (Total FBA Fee per Unit × Units Sold) + Monthly Storage Fee + Long-Term Storage Fee

The fulfillment fees are determined based on the product's size and weight, using Amazon's standard size and weight tiers.

Worked Example

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

  • Product price: $25
  • Product size: Small (12" × 8" × 5")
  • Product weight: 1 lb
  • Average monthly inventory: 10 units
  • Units sold per month: 50
  • Units stored for more than 365 days: 2

Using the calculator:

  1. Referral fee: $25 × 15% = $3.75
  2. Fulfillment fee: $2.49 (small size) + $2.49 (1 lb weight) = $4.98
  3. Total FBA fee per unit: $3.75 + $4.98 = $8.73
  4. Monthly storage fee: (10 × $0.60) × 30 = $180
  5. Long-term storage fee: 2 × $120 = $240
  6. Total estimated cost: ($8.73 × 50) + $180 + $240 = $436.50 + $180 + $240 = $856.50

This example shows that for this product, the total estimated FBA cost is $856.50 per month.

Understanding FBA Fees Breakdown

Amazon FBA fees consist of several components that vary based on product characteristics and sales volume. Here's a breakdown of the key fees:

Fee Type Description Typical Range
Referral Fee 15% of the product's sale price $0.00 - $50.00+ per unit
Fulfillment Fee Variable based on product size and weight $2.00 - $10.00+ per unit
Monthly Storage Fee Based on inventory volume and storage time $0.00 - $500.00+ per month
Long-Term Storage Fee Additional fee for inventory stored for more than 365 days $120.00 per unit

Understanding these fee components helps sellers make informed decisions about their inventory and pricing strategies.
