Amazon FBA fee calculator: category-based profit model
1
The listing
What it sells for, what it costs you to land, and which referral rate Amazon charges.
2
The packed unit
Measure the box you ship, not the product. These drive the size tier and the dimensional weight.
3
Your assumptions
The inputs Amazon does not set for you. Each one moves the answer, so none of them defaults to the flattering value.

Size tier and clearance
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.
Standard
weight handling not modelled
Billed weight1000 / 1000 g100%
From 1000 g, rounded up to a 500 g multiple.
Tightest constraint is billed weight, with 0 g before this unit moves into the next weight step.
Size classes
Standard (current tier)
Heavy & Bulky
Heavy & Bulky is decided from your dimensions, weight and category. Amazon publishes those trigger thresholds outside this rate card, so no headroom bar is drawn for longest side or girth.
Weight handling is not modelled yet, so the step above sets the band but not a charge.
Amazon applies 18% GST on top of every fee shown. Fees here are pre-GST.

Net profit above is an upper bound, not an estimate. It excludes the components marked as not modelled, so your real profit is lower by that amount.Closing fee: Amazon's page publishes the Rs 0-300 and Rs 301-500 bands as text but leaves Rs 501-1,000, and above Rs 1,000 for all but four categories, in its closing-fee image table.

Break-even price
Not derived for this marketplace: the closing fee moves with the selling price, so a single break-even figure would not hold across the bands.

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.
Because Amazon.in charges a stack rather than one fulfillment fee. A single order carries a referral fee, a closing fee fixed by price band, a weight handling fee that changes with how far the parcel travels, a pick and pack fee, monthly storage, and GST on the total of those. A calculator that shows one fulfillment charge and a referral percentage will understate what Amazon actually deducts. This page itemises each component as its own line, including the one it cannot yet price, so you can see which part is moving when your margin moves.
Weight handling is charged at local, regional or national rates depending on how far the parcel travels from the fulfillment centre to the customer. The same product costs a different amount to fulfill in different parts of the country, so where your inventory sits relative to your demand becomes a per-unit cost rather than a logistics preference. The zone control above records which band most of your orders fall into. It does not move the figure on this page yet, because weight handling is the component that reads it, and weight handling is the component this page cannot price.
STEP is Amazon's Seller Tiered Engagement Programme, and your tier adjusts the weight handling rate you pay. Premium and Advanced sit below the Standard rate and Basic sits above it, so the same unit costs different sellers different amounts to fulfill. This page models the Standard rate only, because that is the one Amazon publishes; the other tiers are listed as out of scope beside the result. Your current tier is shown in Seller Central.
No, and confusing them is a common way to misjudge an Amazon.in margin. Amazon applies GST to the fees it bills you, across the whole fee stack rather than to any one component. The GST you collect from your customer and remit is a separate flow. This page states the rate Amazon applies beside the fee breakdown but does not add it to the net profit figure, so read the number here as sitting before GST on fees, and before customer GST as well.
Most categories carry a zero referral rate below a price threshold and a normal percentage above it, on the schedule effective 16 March 2026. In most of them that threshold is Rs 1,000; in a smaller set it sits lower, so the band that applies depends on the category you pick rather than on a single sitewide figure. The closing fee, weight handling, pick and pack and GST are unaffected by it and are still charged, so a product below the threshold is not free to sell. Choose your category above to see the bands that apply to it.
Yes, each on its own page. Amazon UK is at /fba-calculator/uk, which reads the UK rate card: envelope, parcel and oversize tiers, Low-Price FBA, dimensional weight on the UK divisor, the fuel and logistics surcharge, and storage that rises in the October to December peak. Amazon India is at /fba-calculator/india, which reads the India rate card: price-banded referral including the zero-referral band, the closing fee, pick and pack, and storage. India's weight handling is not priced on that page and it says so beside the result. Each page calculates in that marketplace's own currency and units, and the switcher above the calculator moves between them.
It includes the four costs that decide FBA profitability: the referral fee (category percentage of selling price versus the marketplace minimum), the FBA fulfillment fee (from auto-detected size tier and billable weight), monthly storage cost (cubic volume × blended rate × days stored), and optional PPC spend as a percentage of price. It does not model VAT/GST settlement, peak-season or aged-inventory surcharges, or removal fees. Confirm those in Seller Central before finalising a purchase order.
Amazon's official Revenue Calculator is accurate but requires you to look up one ASIN at a time, per marketplace. This calculator needs no login and no ASIN: you can stress-test a product idea before it exists on Amazon, switch instantly between US, UK, and India fee schedules, and model PPC spend and monthly projections that Amazon's tool does not include. Use this one to shortlist products fast, then validate the finalists against Amazon's live fee preview.
FBA fees are based on size tier and billable weight, whichever is higher between actual weight and dimensional weight (length × width × height ÷ 139 for US in inches; ÷ 5000 for UK and India in cm). Each tier is a weight ladder rather than a single price, so crossing a tier boundary can move the fee sharply. The three marketplaces differ structurally: the US prices by size tier and weight, and from January 2026 also by selling-price band; the UK prices by envelope or parcel tier and then by weight band inside it; India prices by weight band, shipping distance and seller programme tier. This calculator detects your tier automatically but applies simplified per-tier rates, so its fulfillment figure is an estimate rather than a quote.
Target at least 20% net margin after all fees and product cost, before PPC spend. Margins below 15% leave insufficient room for advertising, returns, and fee changes. Use the PPC toggle in this calculator to model your ad spend impact.

This calculator models what a unit should cost you to sell. An audit runs the other way. You export your own reports from Seller Central, the analysis works from those files, and it rebuilds your unit ledger per FNSKU so you can see where Amazon's balance and your own disagree. You see what is recoverable before anything else is agreed.
