How It Works

Profitability on Amazon hinges on three fee buckets that are easy to overlook: fulfillment, referral, and storage. This tool turns those charges into a net revenue figure per unit (price minus Amazon's fees) and a monthly projection, the starting point for pricing a product so it actually clears a margin.

Each fee type is applied to your own product data. Fulfillment is a per-unit charge driven by size and weight, referral is a percentage tied to your product category, and storage is billed monthly. To put numbers to it, Amazon's 2026 US rate card charges $5.04 to fulfill a large standard-size item priced $10 to $50 with a shipping weight of 1 to 1.25 lb, before the 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge added on April 17, 2026. For large standard, bulky and most extra-large items the shipping weight is the greater of unit weight and dimensional weight (length × width × height ÷ 139); small standard uses unit weight only, and the rate also depends on the price band (under $10, $10 to $50, over $50). Referral fees are 15% in most categories, including Home and Kitchen, and 8% for consumer electronics, with a $0.30 minimum. The calculator works out the size tier and shipping weight from the package dimensions, adds the surcharge, and subtracts these fees and the product cost you enter from your price to reach profit per unit; a season switch shows the holiday peak rates.

Storage is where margins quietly erode, particularly on oversized or slow-moving stock, and inventory stored for 181 days or longer picks up an aged inventory surcharge on top of that. Inbound shipping to Amazon's fulfillment centers is another real cost that falls outside this tool entirely, so build that figure in separately before you treat any profit number as final.

Example: A $29.99 Home and Kitchen Item Sold Through FBA

  1. 1 Input: Item Price $29.99, Home and Kitchen category, 1.5 lb, packaged 12 × 8 × 4 inches, 100 units a month, product cost $8.00 (the calculator's defaults).
  2. 2 Size and weight: the 4-inch side rules out small standard (0.75 inch maximum), so the item is large standard. Dimensional weight = 12 × 8 × 4 ÷ 139 = 2.76 lb, which is more than the 1.5 lb unit weight, so the shipping weight is 2.76 lb.
  3. 3 Fees per unit on Amazon's 2026 US schedule: referral 15% × $29.99 = $4.50; fulfillment $6.67 (large standard, 2.75+ to 3 lb, $10 to $50 price band) plus the 3.5% surcharge = $6.90; storage 0.222 cubic feet × $0.78 = $0.17 for a month on the shelf between January and September. Total fees: $11.57.
  4. 4 Result: net revenue $29.99 − $11.57 = $18.42 per unit; after the $8.00 product cost, profit is $10.42 per unit, or about $1,042 a month on 100 units, before inbound shipping, advertising and returns. From October 15, 2026 to January 14, 2027 the peak fulfillment rate for this tier is $7.08 before the surcharge and storage is $2.40 per cubic foot, which cuts that profit by about $0.79 per unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Amazon FBA charge per item?
Amazon FBA fees include a referral fee (15% in most categories and 8% in some, such as consumer electronics and computers, with a $0.30 minimum), a fulfillment fee (from $3.32 per unit for a small standard-size item of 2 oz or less priced $10 to $50 on the 2026 non-peak US rate card, plus a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge since April 17, 2026), and monthly storage fees ($0.78 per cubic foot January through September and $2.40 October through December for standard-size items).
Is Amazon FBA profitable for small sellers?
FBA can be profitable if your margins are high enough. After Amazon takes 30-40% in combined fees, you need a product cost under 25-30% of the selling price to maintain a healthy profit margin.
What are Amazon FBA storage fees?
Monthly storage for standard-size items is $0.78 per cubic foot from January through September and $2.40 per cubic foot from October through December. Professional sellers with more than a year on FBA, at least 25 cubic feet in storage and inventory that would take more than 22 weeks to sell through also pay a storage utilization surcharge, and an aged inventory surcharge applies to units stored 181 days or longer.
