Amazon Fba Cost: Current Prices & Fees

Fulfillment by Amazon charges sellers in layers: a plan fee for the seller account, a fulfillment fee on every unit shipped, and storage fees for inventory sitting in Amazon warehouses. The fulfillment fee is the biggest, and it depends on the size and weight of the product.

The fulfillment fee ranges below come from ShipBob's 2026 guide to Amazon fees, because Amazon's own fee table could not be read for this page. They were checked on Oct 14, 2026. Amazon also added a fuel surcharge of 3.5 percent on April 17, 2026, which is not included in the table figures, so your total will be a little higher. Always confirm against the FBA revenue calculator in Seller Central.

Every seller needs a plan before listing anything. The Individual plan charges per sale and suits occasional sellers, while the Professional plan has a monthly fee that pays off once you sell a certain volume.

Amazon also charges referral fees, which are a percentage of the sale price by category with a minimum amount. Those are separate from FBA fees.

Amazon sorts products into size tiers, and the fee grows with the tier. The ranges below are for products priced at the higher level of the schedule, and each range reflects weight within that tier.

A product sits in a tier because of its dimensions and shipping weight, so a slightly smaller package can drop to a cheaper tier. That is why sellers redesign packaging.

Items priced under a certain threshold qualify for lower rates. Those rates are lower than the standard ones in the table above, although the range is similar.

If your product sells close to the threshold, check how the price affects your fee, because the threshold may change what you keep from each sale.

Fulfillment fees are only part of the bill. Amazon also charges to store your inventory and adds extra charges for stock that sits too long.

Storage rates vary by season, size and item type, and the aged inventory surcharge grows the longer inventory stays. Sending too much inventory at once can cost more than it saves.

Sellers usually start with packaging. Trimming a box by a fraction can move a product to a cheaper tier, and lighter materials reduce shipping weight. Send inventory in amounts that sell through quickly so storage and aged-stock charges stay small. Review the fee preview report in Seller Central each quarter, since a product whose price or size changed may now sit in a different bracket.

• Size and weight. These decide the tier and the fulfillment fee.
• Price. Lower-priced items may qualify for reduced fees.
• Season. Storage costs and peak-period fees change during the year.
• Inventory age. Stock that sits too long gets extra charges.
• Surcharges. A fuel surcharge applies on top of base fulfillment fees.
• Returns and prep. Return processing and prep or labeling services are billed separately.

FBA pays when speed and Prime eligibility lift your sales more than the fees reduce your margin. It can sink a low-margin product, since fees come off every unit. Before you commit, run the revenue calculator for your actual dimensions, include product cost and advertising, and compare the result with shipping orders yourself. A tax or accounting professional can help with how fees affect your books.
