FBA fees add up fast

Amazon takes a referral fee (commonly ~15%) plus an FBA fulfillment fee and monthly storage. After product cost, inbound shipping, returns, and advertising, the profit that's left can be thin — so margin and ROI matter more than revenue. The break-even price is the floor you can't go below, and max profitable ACoS is the advertising ceiling before a sale loses money.

How it’s calculated

Net = price βˆ’ referral % βˆ’ FBA fee βˆ’ storage βˆ’ product βˆ’ shipping βˆ’ ads βˆ’ return loss. Break-even price = fixed costs Γ· (1 βˆ’ referral %).

Worked example

A $25 product costing $6 with $1.50 shipping, 15% referral, $4 FBA and $2 ads nets ~$7/unit (28% margin, ~94% ROI); break-even price ~$16.74.

Common mistakes

  • Forgetting storage, returns, and ad spend.
  • Chasing revenue while the margin is razor-thin.

Where it is used

  • Vetting a product before sourcing it.
  • Finding the max ACoS before ads erase profit.

Frequently asked questions

What is ACoS?

Advertising Cost of Sale — ad spend as a percentage of sales. Stay below the 'max profitable ACoS' and your ads still leave a profit.

Why is ROI different from margin?

Margin is profit over price; ROI is profit over what you invested (product + shipping). ROI shows how hard your cash is working.

Are these the exact Amazon fees?

They're realistic defaults. Fees vary by category and product size — check Amazon's current fee schedule and enter your numbers.
