What is the FBA fulfilment fee?

The per-unit charge for Amazon picking, packing and shipping your order.

The FBA fulfilment fee is what Amazon charges per unit sold to pick your product off the shelf, pack it and deliver it to the buyer - returns handling and customer service included. It is set by the item's size tier and weight, which is why a light, small product can be profitable at a price where a bulky one is not.

Together with the referral fee it makes up the bulk of Amazon's cut on a typical FBA sale. Both are already applied in every scan result and in the free calculator, so the profit you see is after Amazon's fees, not before.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the fulfilment fee different for similar products?

It is set by size tier and weight, and small differences cross tier boundaries: a slightly longer box or heavier pack lands in the next tier and costs more per unit. Check the fee on the exact ASIN, not a lookalike.

Does the fulfilment fee change during the year?

Amazon revises FBA fees periodically and has applied holiday-season adjustments in past years. The safe habit is pricing deals with the current fees applied - which the calculator and scan results do for you.
