Calculating Amazon FBA fees is crucial for determining the profitability of your products. In 2026, Amazon has introduced new fee structures that sellers must account for. This guide covers the two primary fees for FBA sellers: the Referral Fee and the FBA Fulfillment Fee.
1. The Referral Fee
The referral fee is a percentage of the total sales price (including shipping and gift wrap charges) that Amazon collects for facilitating the sale. This fee varies by category and marketplace, typically ranging from 8% to 15%.
2. The FBA Fulfillment Fee
The fulfillment fee covers the cost of picking, packing, shipping, and providing customer service for your products. It is calculated based on the product's size tier and outbound shipping weight, which can vary significantly between marketplaces like the US, UK, and EU.
Size Tiers
Amazon categorizes products into size tiers, such as Small Standard, Large Standard, and Oversize. The tier is determined by the product's dimensions (length, width, height) and weight.
Dimensional Weight
For larger items, Amazon uses dimensional weight (volume / 139) to determine the billable weight. If the dimensional weight is greater than the actual weight, the dimensional weight is used to calculate the fulfillment fee.
