Understanding Amazon FBA Profit Margins
Selling on Amazon using Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is a powerful way to scale an e-commerce business, but calculating your actual take-home pay requires a deep dive into various fees. This Amazon FBA Profit Calculator helps you determine if a product is viable before you source it.
Key Metrics Explained
- Referral Fee: This is Amazon's "commission" for selling on their platform. For most categories, this is 15% of the total sales price.
- Fulfillment Fee: This covers the picking, packing, and shipping of your orders to the customer. It varies based on the size and weight of the product.
- COGS (Cost of Goods Sold): The manufacturing or wholesale cost of the product, including packaging.
- ROI: Return on Investment tells you how much money you make back for every dollar spent on inventory. An ROI of 100% means you doubled your money.
Example Calculation
If you sell a yoga mat for $40.00:
- Cost of Goods: $10.00
- Shipping to Amazon: $2.00
- Referral Fee (15%): $6.00
- Fulfillment Fee: $7.50
- Storage: $0.50
Your Net Profit would be: $40.00 – ($10 + $2 + $6 + $7.50 + $0.50) = $14.00 per unit. This represents a 35% margin and a 140% ROI.
