Amazon’s total revenue up to March 2019 was almost $60 Billion dollars. We’ve compiled a comprehensive and transparent spreadsheet to calculate the true cost of selling on Amazon. Yes, you read that correctly. There is a bug though. See how FBA fees are calculated, and the business-building services Amazon offers. If the customer doesn’t have to pay, neither do you.The only caveat is if the customer wishes the item to be gift wrapped, which would then form part of seller’s transaction and will be charged along with the item’s price at the total cost the buyer has to pay.A: Fees are taken by Amazon at point of sale from the customer’s payment. In my example, using a Sale Price of $20, the Referral Fee should be $3.50 ($20 x 15%), yet it calculates as $2.30 in the spreadsheet because the formula in the Formulas spreadsheet is correct.Thanks - it was actually calculating correctly; it was just displaying incorrectly. The fees are correct but it should not say that Dim weight is applicable and I've updated this. With that in mind, we’ve created a free Amazon fees calculator, based on the methods used by Amazon themselves.Revenue calculators save the hassle of determining selling fees as the cost per unit is easily inputted and a total fulfilment cost is displayed showing your profit margins at a glance.Our web app software is calculator based and begins with a seller entering some primary information and the overall fixed initial costs.There is provision to enter costs not including and specific to your industry (for example marketing costs)- always enter these as a ‘cost per unit’.Our calculator works on a cost and profit per unit basis, so simply enter;Select the band for dimensions and weight from our options (Amazon calls ‘size tier’) Note that fulfilment fees are automatically included hereThe initial cost price of a unit ex VAT inc.any duty and delivery cost to you (fixed cost) Intended Listing price (inc.delivery fees and VAT as applicable)The Amazon fees include sales fee but not including storage fees Once you have entered the above product info, the Amazon FBA calculator will automatically calculate your net profit per item sold. Can you change it?The threshold for weight in Large Standard (3-21 lbs) is 3 lbs. This doesn’t, of course, include addressing issues of poor quality products or negative feedback of the item which has to be remedied by you.Shipping speed is superior to many other outlets as it’s handled directly by Amazon and Prime There’s an opportunity to win the ‘buy box’, which is a system Amazon has implemented to entice better quality, and hassle-free sellers pay the extra to gain an advantage over the competitors within their selling platform.For a better understanding and opportunity to raise the chances of winning the buy box, Products on Amazon are generally perceived to be of better quality than through say selling the item yourself as the Amazon branding offers peace of mind for the majority of customers.Accidents happen and you need to know that your products are in good hands. For example, if your product sells for $100, Amazon would take a $15 cut of the sale, leaving you with $85 in revenue before other fees. Fixed now :)Having successfully opened the first video and watched it "Titles" how do I open the second video describing photography? Unfortunately though I can't seem to get it to work properly this morning, despite clearing my cache and trying on Chrome and Firefox.
