Does this include Amazon PPC ads?

No. Advertising is separate. Model ads in a profit or ROAS worksheet after you know fee-adjusted contribution.

Why can fees exceed the sale price?

Fulfillment is often a fixed dollar amount. On low-priced units it can wipe out or exceed revenue—the worksheet shows that loss instead of hiding it.

Is this an official Amazon tool?

No. It is an educational fee and contribution arithmetic calculator.

How to Estimate Amazon FBA Fees

Copy referral percent and fulfillment tier amounts from Seller Central (or Amazon’s public fee pages), then model units and product cost.

Choose a display currency.

Negative net is a signal

Cheap ASINs can lose money after fulfillment. If net or contribution is negative, raise price, cut COGS, or change fulfillment strategy before you ship inventory.

What the Fee Total Means

Total Amazon-style fees combine referral (percent of revenue) with per-unit fulfillment, storage, and other Amazon fees. Net after Amazon fees is revenue minus that total. Contribution profit also subtracts product cost. Fees may exceed revenue.
