Amazon Fee Calculator
Use this page to model Amazon referral fees, fixed charge assumptions, ad cost, fulfillment cost, and break-even pricing before you publish or reorder a SKU.
The calculator is transparent by design: every fee line is editable, every output is browser-generated, and the result is meant to support pricing review, not replace marketplace policy checks.
- Editable Amazon starter preset with referral fee, fixed fee, ad allowance, and returns buffer.
- Break-even price, profit per unit, gross margin, and recommended target price in one view.
- Browser-only CSV export and printable pricing summary for internal review.

How this is calculated
- Percentage fees apply to selling price after the selected tax display mode is normalized.
- Platform fixed fees, listing fees, payment fixed fees, and fixed ad costs are added as per-unit planning lines.
- Ad cost can be modeled either as a percentage of selling price or as a fixed unit amount.
- Returns allowance is modeled as a percentage buffer and should be treated as an estimate only.
- Break-even price solves the price where net revenue covers unit cost, fixed fees, and percentage-based channel costs.
- Target price uses the stricter available result from target margin and target markup, so the recommendation does not quietly ignore one goal.
- Target markup applies profit to the SKU unit cost first, then recovers fixed channel fees and percentage-based costs.
- Gross margin is shown after direct unit cost; contribution margin is shown after direct unit cost and percentage-based channel costs.
- Net margin is shown after direct unit cost, percentage-based channel costs, and fixed per-order fees.
- Landed cost is a planning add-on only; duty and tax assumptions should be reviewed before commercial import decisions.

Questions sellers ask before trusting the math
Does this match every Amazon category exactly?
No. It is an editable planning preset, not a guaranteed fee table for every category, program, or region.
Can I include ads and fulfillment in the same view?
Yes. The tool combines marketplace fees with ad assumptions, shipping, packaging, fulfillment, and optional landed-cost add-ons.
Can I export the result?
Yes. You can export CSV pricing sheets, copy the summary, or print a browser-friendly report.
