How much does Amazon take per sale?
Two main fees. The referral fee is a percentage of the selling price that depends on the category: 15% in most, 8% for electronics and computers, and tiered in categories like beauty, clothing and jewelry, usually with a $0.30 minimum. The FBA fulfillment fee depends on your product’s size tier, shipping weight and price. On top of that come monthly storage and, in 2026, a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge on the FBA fee.
A $24.99 home and kitchen item measuring 10 × 6 × 3 inches and weighing 1.2 lb pays a $3.75 referral fee and a $5.42 FBA fee, plus $0.19 surcharge and about $0.08 of storage a month: $9.44, or 38% of the price. During the holiday peak and October to December storage rates, the same sale costs $9.93.
What changed in 2026
- 15 January 2026: a new FBA rate card, about $0.08 a unit more on average. Referral fees didn’t change.
- 17 April 2026: a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge on every FBA fulfillment fee. Amazon calls it temporary but gave no end date.
- 15 October 2026 to 14 January 2027: holiday peak fulfillment fees, about $0.32 a unit more on average, and storage of $2.40 per cubic foot for standard-size items from October to December. The calculator switches to peak fees by itself during these dates.
| Date | Platform | What changed | Before | After | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon | FBA holiday peak fulfillment fees | Standard rate card | About $0.32 a unit more on average | Until 14 January 2027. Storage rises to $2.40 per cubic foot for standard-size items from October to December. Source | |

FBA size tiers
| Size tier | Longest side | Median side | Shortest side | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small standard | 15 in | 12 in | 0.75 in | 16 oz |
| Large standard | 18 in | 14 in | 8 in | 20 lb |
| Small bulky | 37 in | 28 in | 20 in | 50 lb (length + girth up to 130 in) |
| Large bulky | 59 in | 33 in | 33 in | 50 lb (length + girth up to 130 in) |
| Extra-large | Anything bigger | Priced in bands up to 50, 70, 150 and over 150 lb | ||
Shipping weight is the item’s packaged weight for small standard. For every other tier, it’s the greater of the packaged weight and the dimensional weight (length × width × height ÷ 139, with width and height counted as at least 2 inches for bulky and extra-large). That’s why a light but bulky box can cost more than you’d expect, and even move up a tier.

Why $9.99 can beat $10.49
Items priced under $10 get Amazon’s lower FBA rates. For a 3 oz phone case, the FBA fee is $2.49 at $9.99 but $3.42 at $10.49. After fees, $9.99 leaves $3.60 profit on a $2 case and $10.49 leaves $3.07. The “What price do I need?” box allows for this and finds the lowest price that makes your profit.
FBA or FBM?
With FBM, you ship orders yourself and pay only the referral fee, but you cover postage, packing and your own time, and you don’t get Prime by default. On the $24.99 example, FBM leaves $9.74 if shipping costs you $5.50 and you offer free shipping, against $8.80 with FBA. Switch between the two at the top of the calculator to compare with your own numbers.
How the calculator works
- Referral fee = your category’s rate × (price + any shipping the buyer pays), or the category’s minimum if that’s higher. The table under the calculator lists every category.
- Closing fee: $1.80 on books, music, movies, software, video games and consoles.
- FBA fee = the rate card fee for your size tier, shipping weight and price band, plus the 3.5% surcharge.
- Storage = cubic feet × the monthly rate × months in storage.
- Profit = price − Amazon’s fees − product cost − shipping to Amazon and prep − other costs. ROI = profit ÷ product cost.
Not included: the inbound placement service fee, low-inventory-level fee, returns processing fees, aged-inventory and storage utilization surcharges, apparel and dangerous-goods rate cards, and the $39.99 monthly Professional plan fee.

Amazon fee questions
What is the FBA fee for a 1 lb item?
For a large standard item priced $10 to $50 with a shipping weight between 12 oz and 1 lb, it’s $4.60, or $4.76 with the surcharge. A flat item that fits small standard (up to 0.75 in thick) pays $3.96, or $4.10 with the surcharge.
Does Amazon charge a referral fee on shipping?
Yes, on FBM orders where the buyer pays for shipping: the referral fee is worked out on the total, including shipping and gift wrap. FBA orders have no separate shipping charge.
Is the 3.5% surcharge on the price or the FBA fee?
On the FBA fulfillment fee only, including holiday peak fees. It doesn’t apply to referral fees or storage.
Is this the same as Amazon’s Revenue Calculator?
No. SellerCounter is independent and isn’t affiliated with Amazon. It uses Amazon’s published 2026 fees, so results should match for standard items, but Amazon’s own tools use your listing’s exact measurements and are the final word.
