Lower PPC costs with influencer-driven traffic.
An FBA calculator helps Amazon sellers estimate their true net profit by accounting for all costs: product sourcing, FBA fees, referral fees, advertising, and returns. Without accurate profit calculations, many sellers unknowingly operate at a loss.
Unlike Amazon's basic calculator, our tool includes PPC advertising costs and return rate estimates—two factors that significantly impact real-world profitability. Get a complete picture before sourcing products.
Most new Amazon sellers only calculate gross margin, ignoring advertising and return costs. This leads to negative ROI on products that appear profitable on paper.
Understanding each fee type is essential for accurate profit forecasting. Here are the main costs every FBA seller faces.
Amazon's commission for each sale, typically 15% for most categories. Electronics and computers are often 8%, while Amazon device accessories can be up to 45%. Always check your specific category rate.
Covers picking, packing, shipping, and customer service. Based on product size tier and weight. Small standard items start around $3.22, while large oversize items can exceed $150 per unit.
Charged for inventory stored in Amazon warehouses. Standard rates are $0.87/cu ft (Jan-Sep) and $2.40/cu ft (Oct-Dec peak season). Long-term storage fees apply after 365 days.
For categories with free returns (apparel, shoes, etc.), Amazon charges a return processing fee equal to the original fulfillment fee. Factor in your category's average return rate (5-30% for apparel).
Smart sellers optimize multiple levers to maximize profitability beyond just finding cheaper suppliers.
Amazon PPC costs have increased 30%+ since 2022. Sellers spending $3-$10 per unit on ads can cut costs dramatically by driving external traffic through influencer partnerships and social media.
Moving from 'Large Standard' to 'Small Standard' size tier can save $2-5 per unit in fulfillment fees. Consider packaging redesigns that reduce dimensional weight.
After all fees, shipping, COGS, advertising, and returns, aim for at least 30% net margin. This provides buffer for price competition and unexpected cost increases.
Storage fees triple during Q4 (Oct-Dec). Plan inventory levels carefully to avoid paying peak storage rates on slow-moving products.
Our calculator provides estimates based on standard Amazon fee structures. Actual fees may vary based on your specific product dimensions, category, and fulfillment center location. For exact fees, use Amazon's official Revenue Calculator with your product ASIN.
Most successful FBA sellers target 25-35% net profit margin after all costs. Margins below 20% leave little room for price competition or unexpected fee increases. Private label products typically achieve higher margins than wholesale or arbitrage.
External traffic from influencers and social media can significantly reduce PPC dependency. Amazon also rewards external traffic with the Brand Referral Bonus program, giving you 10% back on sales from external sources. Tools like Spreesy help you find influencers who drive real sales.
Absolutely. Return rates vary dramatically by category—1-3% for consumables, 5-10% for electronics, and 15-30% for apparel. Each return costs you the original FBA fee plus often results in unsellable inventory. Always include your category's typical return rate in calculations.
