As we discussed in a separate article, the Amazon FBA Calculator should be replaced with Turbo Piranha for several reasons, such as its easy to use, highly configurable user interface, lightning-fast bulk product analysis, more than 220+ data points and so on. In this article, we’ll explain why Turbo Piranha is more than a simple Amazon FBA Calculator but it’s rather a complete profit and product analyzer for both FBA and FBM selling models.
Best Seller Rank (BSR) and BSR Percentage
Turbo Piranha does not guess to calculate product and fee details based on the information you submit. Instead, it queries all size and product information over Amazon MWS Web services using the product code (UPC, EAN, ISBN, SKU, or ASIN) that you submitted and it gets all fee information from Amazon directly. It also calculates shipping costs and all other variable costs using the dimension, weight information comes from Amazon and shipping rates that you defined in the program settings.
Best Seller Rank (BSR) is one of the fields that come from Amazon directly. Turbo Piranha calculates the BSR percentage of each product using the total product count in that category and gives you in the output Excel file. Using this information, you can easily decide whether to invest or not quickly. Don’t forget to check Details of the Output Excel File article to learn the details of all available information.
Estimated Monthly Sales
Estimated Monthly Sales is another useful and important feature that Amazon FBA Calculator does not give you any idea about it. We have our own estimation methods and we refresh these numbers periodically. On the other hand, these numbers are estimated differently by many other solution providers, so there will be always some doubt about its reliability. For this reason, Turbo Piranha gives you great flexibility about these numbers. Please check our other article on Amazon Estimated Monthly Sales to learn more information and understand how flexible Turbo Piranha is.
Break-Even Price, Margin and ROI
Another great feature of Turbo Piranha is that it gives you a break-even price of all products based on your purchase price, shipping costs, preparation costs, FBA/FBM fees, and many more. In this way, you can easily understand that what is the minimum selling price not to lose any money and if it is a feasible number. It also calculates net margin and net ROI (return over investment) percentages to understand the potential profitability of any product.
Existing Offers and Competition Analysis
As a profit analyzer for FBA and FBM, Turbo Piranha also gives you up to 20 lowest offers of other sellers and also their feedback counts and ratings. Using this information, if there is a high competition on a product, even if it is highly profitable, you may want to stay away from that product. Amazon FBA Calculator does not share any of this critical information. You have to visit the product offers page to see these in detail.
External Links Other E-Commerce Sites
Turbo Piranha gives you many Amazon and External links for you to analyze better before your investment. For example, with a simple click, you can see only new item offers or Like-New offers, and so on. In addition, it gives you many external links such as Keepa, CamelCamelCamel, eBay, and Alibaba. Using these links, you can quickly cross-check other e-commerce platforms to see the existing offers on them or compare your purchasing prices with Alibaba prices.
