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