Grow your business cost-effectively

How are Amazon FBA fees calculated? FBA fees or fulfilment fees are calculated per item depending on its category, size and weight, and the channel on which the item is being sold. They cover the costs of storing your items in Amazon fulfilment centres, picking, packaging, shipping after purchase, and customer service.

These fees are charged per calendar month for all items stored in Amazon fulfilment centres. Based on the fulfilment channel used, you can get an estimate of your revenue (both of total sales revenue and per unit sold) using the Fulfilment by Amazon revenue calculator for specific items listed on Amazon.

The FBA calculator is a preview tool that you can use to check and compare the estimated revenue for all the available fulfilment options for the products you have listed on Amazon and registered for Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA). You can enter your total expected sales volumes to estimate your total proceeds, check per-unit sold estimates and also compare the fees and profitability between different fulfilment methods.

Amazon fees refer to the total fees that all sellers must pay to list and sell products on the Amazon website. They include referral fees, which are a percentage of the total price of your product excluding tax. They are charged for each item sold and vary by category.

Depending on your selling plan, you may also incur a per-item fee or a monthly fee. For example, the Professional sales plan incurs a monthly subscription fee that also offers users a number of benefits.

In addition to this, some sellers may have to pay other costs for premium services, marketing or other reasons. More detailed information about these fees is available on this page.

By contrast, 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, picking, packaging, and shipping your products using Fulfilment by Amazon. If you have opted for this service, these fees will be charged in addition to the other Amazon fees mentioned above.

Sellers must pay a storage fee for all items stored in Amazon fulfilment centres. The rate is calculated based on the average daily volume of products stored measured in cubic metres.

The rate varies depending on the calendar month: it is lower from January to September. A slightly higher amount is charged for the latter months of the year when traffic tends to be higher (from October to December). The exact amount also depends on the product category and size.

There is a separate fee plan for storing items that are classed as dangerous goods.

Amazon offers two pricing plans for sellers: Individual and Professional.

The Individual plan charges €0.99 (excl. VAT) per unit sold, while the Professional plan costs €39 (excl. VAT) per month regardless of the number of units sold. Please note that additional fees may apply, including shipping, gift-wrapping or a minimum fee, depending on which is greater. Referral fees are separate from selling plan fees.

Yes, Amazon pricing plans include a monthly fee option. The Professional plan costs €39 (excl. VAT) a month regardless of the number of units sold. This plan offers more features and flexibility than the Individual plan.

A referral fee is a commission that Amazon charges sellers for each product sold through its website. This fee is a percentage of the total sales price, which includes the item price and any additional charges, such as shipping or gift wrapping, paid by the buyer. The referral fee varies depending on the product category and also includes a per-item minimum fee.

A closing fee on Amazon refers to a fixed fee charged on certain types of product sales, typically in addition to other selling fees like the referral fee. This fee is most commonly applied to media items such as books, DVDs, music and video games.
