Find out how much it costs to sell on Amazon

FBA or fulfilment fees are calculated per item based on its category, size and weight, as well as the channel through which the item is sold. They cover the costs of storing your items in Amazon fulfilment centres, as well as the collection, packaging and delivery once purchased, and customer service costs.

These fees are charged per calendar month for all items stored in Amazon's fulfilment centres. Depending on the fulfilment channel used, you can get a preview of your estimated income (both total sales revenue and estimates per unit sold) using the FBA revenue calculator for specific items listed on Amazon.

The FBA calculator is an estimating tool that you can use to check and compare the estimated revenue across every fulfilment option available for the products that you have listed on Amazon and registered for Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA). You can enter the expected total sales volume to estimate your total revenue, check the estimates per unit sold, and compare fees and profitability across the different fulfilment methods.

Amazon fees refer to the total charges that all sellers have to pay in order for their products to appear and be sold on the Amazon website. This includes the referral fee, which is a percentage of the total price of your product, before tax. It is charged for each item sold and varies by category.

Then, depending on your selling plan, you can either be charged per item or charged a fixed monthly fee. For example, the Professional selling plan incurs a monthly fee, which also offers the user a number of benefits.

In addition to this, some sellers may have to pay additional fees for premium services, marketing or other reasons. You can find more information about this on this page.

By contrast, FBA (Fulfilment by Amazon) fees are charged only for the products that you have listed under this specific service. They are charged per unit based on the category, size and weight of the item and cover the costs of storing, collecting, packaging and delivering your products using FBA. If you have opted into this service, these fees will be charged along with the other Amazon fees mentioned above.

Sellers must pay a monthly inventory storage fee (storage fees) for the space occupied by all items stored in Amazon Fulfilment centres. It is calculated based on the average daily inventory volume, measured in cubic meters.

The fee per cubic metre varies depending on the calendar month: it is lower from January to September, while a slightly higher amount is charged for the high-traffic months at the end of the year, from October to December. The exact amount also depends on the product category and dimensions (size).

There is a different fee structure for the storage of dangerous goods.
