Breakdown
About
Amazon takes 15% referral on most categories (8% electronics, 17% apparel). FBA fulfillment is $3-7 typical based on size/weight. Monthly storage $0.50-2.40 per cubic foot.
The 2026 FBA fulfillment-fee bands: small standard items under 16 oz pay $3.27 to $3.65 per unit, large standard 1 to 2 lb pays $5.40 to $6.15, and oversize items can reach $20-plus per unit before peak surcharges. Amazon also charges an Inbound Placement Service fee that ranges from $0 to about $1.60 per unit depending on how many warehouses you ship to, plus a Low-Inventory-Level fee on units that miss the 28-day cover threshold. The four together (referral, fulfillment, inbound, low-stock) frequently consume 35 to 45% of a $25 price point, which is why margin modeling at the SKU level is the difference between a viable product and a slow bleed.
Common pitfalls
- Forgetting Q4 peak fulfillment surcharges. Amazon adds a $0.20 to $0.40 per-unit peak fee from mid-October through mid-January, which compresses Q4 margin even as volume rises.
- Ignoring long-term storage fees. Units sitting more than 271 days pay $6.90 per cubic foot on top of the monthly base, so a slow-moving SKU can owe more in storage than it makes in profit.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the Amazon FBA Fee Calculator?
It applies the standard formula. Accuracy is limited only by your input precision. For decisions with material consequences (taxes, medical, legal, structural), use the result as a starting point and verify with a qualified professional in the relevant field.
Is the Amazon FBA Fee Calculator free to use?
Yes. 100% free, no signup, no payment, no API key. The site is funded by display ads around the tool but not inside the calculation flow.
Are my inputs saved anywhere?
No. All inputs stay in your browser tab. Closing the tab discards them. The site uses Google Analytics for traffic measurement (anonymized) but the analytics never see what you type into the form.
Can I use the Amazon FBA Fee Calculator on my phone?
Yes. The tool is responsive and tested on iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and major desktop browsers. Touch targets meet Apple's 44pt and Google's 48dp minimum.
Does the Amazon FBA Fee Calculator work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, it works without internet. The calculation runs in JavaScript on your device.

Email hi@3tej.com with the URL of this page and a description of what you saw vs expected. We typically respond within 72 hours.
Can I share results from the Amazon FBA Fee Calculator?
Take a screenshot or copy the output. The page doesn't generate shareable URLs for specific calculations - inputs stay in your browser only.
Why are the results different from another amazon fba fee tool?
Most likely: different formula assumptions, different default values, different rounding rules, or different applicable rates. Check the methodology if both tools document it. Both can be valid for different scenarios.

How to use the Amazon FBA Fee Calculator
The Amazon FBA Fee Calculator is a browser-based tool that runs entirely on your device. Inputs you enter never reach a server - all calculations happen client-side in JavaScript. This means:
- Privacy: nothing is logged, sent, or stored by 3Tej. Inputs disappear when you close the tab.
- Speed: results update as you type. No network round trip.
- Offline use: once the page is cached, it works without internet.
- No signup: no account, no email, no rate limits.
Step by step
- Enter your inputs in the form above. Each field is labeled with its unit (currency, percent, kg, etc.) and the expected range.
- Read the result as it updates. The number reflects the formula commonly accepted in Amazon FBA Fee-related calculations.
- Adjust to see sensitivity: change one input at a time and watch how the output moves. This is the fastest way to understand which variable matters most.
- Copy or screenshot the result for later reference. The page state persists for the session if your browser allows it.
When you would use this
- Quick estimates: when you need a number now and don't want to open a spreadsheet.
- Sensitivity analysis: testing how a result changes as inputs vary, before committing to a real-world decision.
- Comparison: running the same calculation with different inputs to compare options side by side.
- Learning: building intuition for how the underlying math behaves.
- Documentation: capturing a snapshot of inputs and outputs at a point in time.
The formula explained
This calculator uses the following formula:
profit = sale_price - cog - (sale × referral%) - FBA_fee - storage
The reason this formula works is rooted in the underlying physics, finance, or biology of the problem. Behind every calculator is a published, peer-reviewed equation or a widely accepted convention. We do not invent formulas; we apply standard ones from textbooks, government tables, professional bodies, and academic literature.
If you are curious about the math, the simplest way to verify is to plug in two known numbers and compare against a known result. The calculator should match published examples to within rounding precision.
