Amazon FBA Calculator
Amazon's headline referral fee is only part of what actually comes off your payout - closing fees, FBA weight-handling charges, and 18% GST on top of Amazon's own fees all add up. This calculator gives you the real net profit per order, not just the referral-fee estimate most sellers stop at.
What each field means
- Referral Fee
- Amazon's category commission, charged as a percentage of the selling price - fashion and footwear typically run 17-20%, but the exact slab depends on your sub-category and price band.
- Closing Fee
- A flat fee tiered by selling price, charged on every order regardless of category.
- FBA Weight Handling Fee
- What Amazon charges to pick, pack, and ship the order from its fulfillment centre - based on the item's shipping weight or volumetric weight, whichever is higher.
- GST on Amazon Fees
- Amazon charges 18% GST on its own fees (referral, closing, and fulfillment) - separate from the GST you charge the customer on the sale itself.
- Other Costs
- Any extra per-order cost not covered above - storage fees, removal orders, prep service charges, or anything else specific to your account.
How to use the Amazon FBA Calculator
- Enter your selling price and cost price.
- Set your referral fee percentage - check Seller Central's own fee report for your exact sub-category rate rather than a general estimate.
- Add the closing fee and FBA weight-handling fee for your item's price band and weight.
- Leave GST on fees at 18% unless Amazon's invoice shows otherwise, and add anything else in Other Costs.

Frequently asked questions
What is the referral fee for footwear on Amazon India?
Fashion and footwear referral fees on Amazon India typically fall in the 17-20% range, but Amazon revises category rates periodically and applies different slabs by price band - always confirm your exact rate in Seller Central before pricing a new listing.
Is "Amazon Fee Calculator" the same as "Amazon FBA Calculator"?
Yes - sellers use these terms interchangeably, though "FBA" (Fulfilled by Amazon) specifically refers to Amazon handling storage and shipping, which is what the weight-handling fee here covers.
Does Amazon charge GST on its own fees?
Yes - Amazon charges 18% GST on top of the referral fee, closing fee, and FBA fulfillment fee, a cost many sellers forget to include when estimating their payout.
What's the difference between FBA and self-ship (Easy Ship) on Amazon?
FBA has Amazon store and ship your inventory for a weight-based fee, with generally faster delivery and Prime eligibility. Self-ship (Easy Ship) has you pack the order for pickup by Amazon's courier partner - usually cheaper for slow-moving or bulky items, but without Prime badging.
What if I have an Amazon cost that isn't listed here?
Use the Other Costs field for anything account-specific not already covered - storage fees, removal or disposal orders, prep service charges, and so on - so your net profit reflects every real deduction.
