How Amazon FBA fees work
Amazon charges a referral fee on each sale — a percentage of the total price that varies by category, most commonly around 15% (ranging roughly 8-15%). If you use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), there are additional per-unit picking, packing, and storage fees that depend on size and weight, plus a monthly Professional selling plan fee. This estimate covers the referral fee; FBA fulfillment costs are separate.
Amazon FBA fee breakdown
| Referral fee | ~15% of total (varies 8-15% by category) |
|---|---|
| FBA fulfillment | Per-unit, by size/weight (not included) |
| Selling plan | $39.99/mo Professional (not included) |
Worked example
Say you sell an item for $40.00 on Amazon FBA:
| Sale total | $40.00 |
|---|---|
| Amazon FBA fee | −$6.00 |
| You keep | $34.00 |
That's $6.00 in total fees, or about 15.0% of the sale. Use the calculator above for your own numbers.
How to reduce your Amazon FBA fees
- Referral fees vary a lot by category — media and electronics differ sharply from apparel; check the category fee schedule for your exact rate.
- FBA fees can exceed the referral fee for large or heavy low-price items — run those through Amazon's FBA revenue calculator before listing.
- The Professional plan pays for itself once you sell more than ~40 items a month versus the per-item Individual plan.
- Long-term storage fees apply to inventory that sits in FBA warehouses — keep stock moving.
