Amazon charges two separate fees on most FBA sales, and they work very differently. Here's the breakdown this calculator uses, based on Amazon's published 2026 fee schedule.
This is Amazon's commission for listing and selling on the platform. Most categories sit at 15%, but electronics and computers are lower at 8%, clothing runs 5% under $15, 10% from $15-20, and 17% above $20, and jewelry is tiered too: 20% up to $250, then 5% above that. Every item also carries a $0.30 minimum referral fee, verified directly against Amazon's official Seller Pricing page.
If Amazon picks, packs, and ships your product, you pay a fulfillment fee based on size tier and weight, not price. A small standard item under 1 lb runs roughly $3.50, large standard items range from about $4.75 to $9.50 as they get heavier, and oversize items run $13 or more. If you fulfill orders yourself (FBM), this fee doesn't apply.
Since April 17, 2026, Amazon applies an additional 3.5% surcharge calculated on your base FBA fulfillment fee, not your sale price. On a $3.68 fulfillment fee, that adds about $0.13 per unit. It doesn't apply if you're not using FBA.
Fulfillment fees are estimates by size tier; exact fees depend on precise dimensions and weight. Use Amazon's own FBA Revenue Calculator for an exact figure on a specific ASIN. This tool provides estimates only and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Amazon.
