How Amazon fees are calculated

Every Amazon sale pays a referral fee, which is a percentage of the total sale price including any shipping you charge. Most categories pay 15%, and many electronics and computer categories pay 8%. There is a minimum referral fee of $0.30 per item in most categories.

If you use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), you also pay a fulfillment fee based on the size and weight of the item, plus storage. Amazon raised FBA fulfillment fees in January 2026 and added a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge from April 2026. Professional sellers pay $39.99 per month. Individual sellers pay $0.99 per item sold instead.

Referral fee = (item price + shipping charged) × category rate, minimum $0.30
FBA total = fulfillment fee × 1.035 + storage and other FBA fees
Plan cost per sale = $39.99 ÷ orders per month, or $0.99 on the Individual plan

Worked example

A $25 item in a 15% category has a referral fee of $3.75. With an FBA fulfillment fee of $5.20, the 3.5% surcharge adds $0.18, so Amazon takes $9.13 before storage and plan costs. That is 36.5% of the sale price, which shows why low-priced items struggle on FBA.

FBA or FBM?

With FBM you ship the order yourself, so you pay the carrier instead of an FBA fee. The calculator hides the FBA fields and adds a shipping cost field when you switch to FBM, so you can compare both for the same product.
