📖 What it is
The Amazon FBA Profit Calculator is an essential tool for sellers looking to estimate their profits from sales on Amazon. It accounts for various costs such as referral fees, FBA fees, and product costs, allowing sellers to make informed financial decisions.
To use the calculator, you need to input the sale price of your product, the cost to acquire it, the referral fee percentage, and the FBA fee per unit. The output will show your estimated net profit, giving you a clear picture of your earnings.

📐 Formulas
- Referral Fee Calculation—Referral Fee = Sale Price × Referral Percent
- Net Profit Calculation—Net Profit = Sale Price - Product Cost - Referral Fee - FBA Fee
💡 Example
For a product sold at $29:
1. Product cost is $8.
2. Referral fee percentage is 15%, so:
Referral Fee = $29 × 0.15 = $4.35.
3. FBA fee per unit is $4.
Net Profit = $29 - $8 - $4.35 - $4 = $12.65.
