For building a sustainable and long term business, one of the most key aspects of building a long-term is knowing how to generate enough profit to survive and how to generate enough amount of profit that will get you to your long term goals. This is a fact for your Amazon business as well. Most of the Amazon sellers use Fulfillment by Amazon Revenue Calculator also known as Amazon FBA Calculator to estimate their profit and loss for a specific item.
It’s very useful for any seller who wants to decide whether to use FBA (Fulfilment by Amazon) or FBM (Fulfilment by Merchant). With that calculator, a seller can simply calculate the fees involved with either method and decide based on the numbers given by the calculator.
Why do you need to calculate FBA and FBM profits and costs?
Doing business on Amazon has many benefits but keeping track of Amazon fees may be cumbersome because they vary based on a variety of factors, including the product category, seasonality, size and weight of the product, and many more.
Most of these fees apply only to FBA, but FBM sellers still have to pay some fees to Amazon per sold item. Amazon also charges additional long-term storage fees for your inventory that doesn’t sell within a certain time period. Please refer to the article to learn more information about all Amazon Seller Fees for FBA and FBM.
Are these numbers final?
Amazon says that the FBA Revenue Calculator should only be used as a guide to estimate the FBA fees and to compare with FBM but those numbers may not be 100% accurate due to several reasons that we explained in the article mentioned above. For this reason, the fees given by the calculator may not be exactly the same as the actual end payment.
Each Amazon Marketplace has its own FBA Calculator
Since each and every Amazon marketplace has different categories, referral fees, and commissions, they have different calculators as well. Here you can find a few of them:
- FBA Calculator for USA

- FBA Calculator for Mexico
- FBA Calculator for France

- FBA Calculator for Italy
- FBA Calculator for the Netherlands
- FBA Calculator for Spain
- FBA Calculator for UK
- FBA Calculator for India
