Understand the number before the decision
Two prices with transparent costs
In the example, price is 40, referral fees are 15%, and other costs including ads of 3 total 22.50. Contribution is 11.50 and margin 28.75%. At a price of 45, fees become 6.75 and contribution 15.75. This does not predict changes in sales volume or fee tiers.
Use fees for your own marketplace and category
Currency is a label only. Enter referral rates, fixed fees, fulfilment and storage from your own records. Fee tiers and minimums vary and cannot always be represented by one percentage. Compare with Amazon’s official calculator when estimating FBA costs.
Contribution is not a promise of net profit
The result subtracts only entered costs. Exclude recoverable sales tax from price and costs, and include actual expenses. Returns use an average net allowance; subscriptions are allocated per unit. Income tax and unentered expenses are not included.
