Amazon Commission Calculator

This is the most confusing point when calculating Amazon profit. The answer is: No. Using the FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) service does not change your product's category Referral Fee percentage (the main commission). However, FBA directly impacts your total cost. Amazon charges you separate fees for this service, including storage fees and fulfillment fees (packing, shipping, etc.). Net Profit Calculation: You must use the formula: (Sales Price - Referral Fee - FBA Fees - Product Cost).

Amazon's commission rates (Referral Fees) vary widely depending on the product category, typically ranging from 6% to 20% (though some special categories may be higher). These rates are not fixed and can be updated based on market dynamics.

The commission is calculated by multiplying the product's sales price by its category's commission rate (%). Formula: Commission Amount = Sales Price x Category Commission Rate. Example: If you sell a 500 TL item in the Electronics category (8% commission), the commission fee will be 500 TL x 8% = 40 TL. (This calculation does not include FBA or other logistic costs).

The Amazon commission, officially called the "Referral Fee," is the percentage-based fee that sellers pay in exchange for access to Amazon's massive customer base, infrastructure, and technology. It is paid on every successful sale.

The main reason for this variation is that each product category has a different cost structure and profit margin. For example, the operational costs for a bulky piece of furniture (which is expensive to store and ship) are not the same as those for a digital product or a book. Amazon sets a different rate for each category based on these market dynamics.
