Fees and profit per unit on Amazon.com, 2026 rate card.
What it sells for, what it costs you to land, and which referral rate Amazon charges.
Measure the box you ship, not the product. These drive the size tier and the dimensional weight.
The inputs Amazon does not set for you. Each one moves the answer, so none of them defaults to the flattering value.
How close this unit sits to the ceiling of its tier. Crossing one of these is what moves a fee, and it is the same arithmetic behind a mis-tiered charge.

The most you can pay per unit at this price before the SKU stops making money.
Fee overcharges start in the same arithmetic as the tiers above: when Amazon's recorded dimensions are larger than the unit actually is, it is billed in a higher tier until the record is corrected.

US rate card
The figures in this article come from the 2026 US rate table the calculator itself runs on, effective 15 Jan 2026: one source for the page and the tool. Enter a selling price, a landed cost, packed dimensions and weight, and it returns the fulfillment fee, the referral fee, a storage estimate and net profit per unit, in dollars, inches and pounds. Three pieces of 2026 fee mechanics do most of the work, and the calculator applies each one for you.
Working in another market? The same calculator runs on the Amazon UK rate card and on the Amazon India fee stack.
Small Standard, Large Standard, Small Bulky, Large Bulky and Extra-Large: the tier is detected from your packed dimensions and weight. Dimensional weight is length × width × height ÷ 139, so a roomy box can out-bill a heavy one.
Since 15 Jan 2026 the same physical unit carries a different fulfillment fee by what it sells for: Under $10, $10 to $50 and Over $50. The band is read from the price you enter, and an item at exactly $10 takes the $10 to $50 rate.
From 17 Apr 2026 a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge applies to the fulfillment fee. It is charged on the fee, not on your selling price, and it appears as its own line rather than folded into the total.
The method
Three lookups, in this order: size tier, billed weight, price band. The size tier comes first, from your packed dimensions and unit weight, and each tier is a weight ladder rather than one price. Billed weight comes next, as the greater of unit weight and dimensional weight (length × width × height ÷ 139), with two exceptions that bill unit weight alone: Small Standard, and Extra-Large above 150 lb. Your selling price then picks the band, and the fee is read from the cell where the weight ladder and the price band meet.
The boundary
A fee estimate is only as good as its stated edges. The figure above is the non-peak fee for a standard, non-apparel unit, and these charges sit outside it:
The calculator also names the programme ladders it defers, apparel and dangerous goods among them, beside its result. Confirm the full stack in Seller Central's fee preview before you commit stock.
Fees you already paid
The dimensional-weight mechanics above are where fee overcharges start. When Amazon's recorded dimensions for a SKU are larger than the physical unit, the unit bills in a higher size tier than it belongs in, and that difference keeps being charged for as long as the record stays uncorrected. Modelling fees protects margin going forward; most sellers are also losing money backwards, to overcharged fees, lost inventory and return discrepancies. Leviathan Recon, our inventory reconciliation platform, rebuilds your unit ledger per FNSKU from reports you export yourself, and our reimbursement recovery service files claims manually inside Amazon's 60-day window.
