2. Select the referral fee category that matches what you're selling.

5. Select Non-Peak or Holiday Peak, based on when the shipment actually ships.
6. Fill in any optional Amazon fees and your own costs — blank is treated as $0.

How Amazon FBA fees are calculated

Three groups of formulas combine to produce your final profit: the referral fee, the FBA fulfillment fee, and the totals that roll everything together.

Seller Revenue = Item Price + Shipping Charged to Buyer + Gift Wrap Charged to Buyer
Referral Fee Base = Seller Revenue (sales tax excluded)
Referral Fee = category-dependent schedule applied to the Referral Fee Base,
  floored at the category minimum (some categories have no minimum)

FBA Price Band = based on Item Price alone: under $10 / $10-$50 / over $50
Base FBA Fulfillment Fee = looked up from Size Tier x Shipping Weight x Price Band,
  with an incremental charge above each tier's included weight
Fuel & Logistics Surcharge = 3.5% x Base FBA Fulfillment Fee
Total FBA Fulfillment Cost = Base FBA Fulfillment Fee + Fuel & Logistics Surcharge

Total Amazon Fees = Referral Fee + Media Closing Fee (if applicable)
  + Selling Plan Fee + Total FBA Fulfillment Cost + any optional allocated fees
Estimated Net Revenue = Seller Revenue - Total Amazon Fees
Net Profit = Estimated Net Revenue - Seller Operating Costs

2026 FBA price bands

The FBA fulfillment fee table has three price columns, based on your item price alone — never shipping or gift wrap. Items priced under $10.00 use the Low-Price FBA column. Items priced from $10.00 through $50.00 use the middle column. Items priced above $50.00 use the highest column. Exactly $10.00 and exactly $50.00 both use the $10–$50 price band.

Low-Price FBA

Low-Price FBA is Amazon's reduced fulfillment fee rate for items priced under $10. This calculator applies it automatically based on your item price — there's no separate toggle to select and no separate program to opt into.

Non-Peak vs. Holiday Peak

Amazon charges different FBA fulfillment fees during the Holiday Peak period than the rest of the year. For 2026, Non-Peak runs January 15 through October 14, and Holiday Peak runs October 15, 2026 through January 14, 2027. Which rate applies is based on when your shipment actually leaves the fulfillment center — not when the order was placed.

Apparel vs. Non-Apparel

Amazon uses a separate FBA fulfillment fee schedule for apparel. Select Apparel only if Amazon applies its apparel fulfillment schedule to this product; otherwise use Non-Apparel. The two schedules mainly differ for Small Standard and Large Standard items — Small Bulky, Large Bulky, and Extra-Large items use the same rates either way.
