Sending inventory to FBA? Amazon discontinued its own prep and labeling service in January 2026 — every unit now has to arrive prepped. See how our SPN-certified FBA prep works — 15 minutes from the Port of Long Beach.
Non-peak rates effective January 15, 2026, including the 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge in effect since April 17, 2026. Last verified July 2026. Peak fulfillment rates apply October 15, 2026 – January 14, 2027 and are higher than the figures shown. Estimates only — Amazon bills on its own warehouse measurements; confirm ASIN-level fees in Seller Central.
How Amazon FBA fees work in 2026
Every FBA sale is charged a stack of fees before you see a payout. Four of them hit almost every unit; the rest depend on how you ship, store, and restock.
01
Referral fee
Amazon's commission on every sale — 15% in most categories, 8% in a few like electronics and grocery under $15, with a $0.30 minimum per item.
02
Fulfillment fee
The per-unit pick, pack, and ship charge, set by your size tier and shipping weight. In 2026 it comes in three price bands (under $10, $10–$50, over $50) plus a 3.5% fuel surcharge.
03
Monthly storage
Charged per cubic foot of daily average volume: $0.78 standard-size (Jan–Sep) rising to $2.40 in Q4. Oversize is $0.56 / $1.40.
04
Inbound placement
Send everything to one Amazon location and pay up to ~$1.90 per standard-size unit (more for bulky) for Amazon to spread it across the network — or split shipments to 5+ locations yourself for $0.
05
Low-inventory-level fee
Run under 28 days of supply and every shipped unit picks up an extra $0.32–$2.09 charge. Calculated per FNSKU against your 30- and 90-day history.
06
Aged inventory surcharge
Stock sitting 181+ days accrues escalating monthly surcharges — from $0.50/cu ft up to $7.90/cu ft (or $0.35/unit) past 456 days. Slow movers get expensive fast.
2026 FBA fulfillment fee tables
Official non-peak base rates effective January 15, 2026 (non-apparel). Your billed fee adds the 3.5% fuel surcharge on top — the calculator applies it automatically. Price bands refer to your item's sale price; items under $10 get Amazon's Low-Price FBA rates automatically.

Amazon product size tiers (2026)
Your fulfillment fee schedule is set by the smallest tier your packed product fits. Weight means shipping weight: the greater of actual weight and dimensional weight (L×W×H ÷ 139) for every tier except small standard and 150+ lb extra-large, which use actual weight. A quarter inch of packaging can move you a full tier.
| Tier | Shipping weight | Longest side | Median side | Shortest side | Length + girth |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small Standard | ≤ 16 oz | ≤ 15" | ≤ 12" | ≤ 0.75" | — |
| Large Standard | ≤ 20 lb | ≤ 18" | ≤ 14" | ≤ 8" | — |
| Small Bulky | ≤ 50 lb | ≤ 37" | ≤ 28" | ≤ 20" | ≤ 130" |
| Large Bulky | ≤ 50 lb | ≤ 59" | ≤ 33" | ≤ 33" | ≤ 130" |
| Extra-Large 0–50 lb | ≤ 50 lb | Exceeds Large Bulky | — | — | — |
| Extra-Large 50–70 lb | 50–70 lb | — | — | — | — |
| Extra-Large 70–150 lb | 70–150 lb | — | — | — | — |
| Extra-Large 150+ lb | > 150 lb | — | — | — | — |
Items up to 150 lb that exceed 96" on the longest side or 130" length + girth also incur an overmax handling fee of $17–$25 per unit, new for 2026. Bulky and extra-large dimensional weight is calculated with a minimum 2" width and height.
What changed in Amazon's 2026 fees
Two waves hit sellers this year — the January rate card and the April surcharge. If your margins were computed in 2025, they're wrong now.
Amazon prep & labeling discontinued
Amazon no longer offers FBA prep or item labeling services. Every unit must arrive fully prepped and labeled, or it can be refused at receiving.
New rate card: three price bands
Fulfillment fees rose ~$0.08/unit on average and split into under-$10, $10–$50, and over-$50 bands — items over $50 pay about $0.26 more than the middle band.
Small Bulky tier added
A new tier (≤37×28×20 in, ≤50 lb) carved out of Large Bulky, about $1.80/unit cheaper. Extra-large 50–150 lb base fees actually decreased.
Overmax fee & stricter low-inventory fee
Items over 96" or 130" length + girth pay a $17–$25 handling fee. The low-inventory-level fee is now calculated per FNSKU and extended to bulky tiers.
3.5% fuel & logistics surcharge
All FBA fulfillment fees now carry a 3.5% surcharge. It doesn't appear in most published fee tables — this calculator applies it to every estimate.
Referral & storage rates held
Referral percentages and base monthly storage rates carried over from 2025 — the increases came entirely from fulfillment, placement, and the new surcharges.
The fees most FBA calculators miss
Sellers routinely report real payouts coming in below every estimate they ran. That's rarely a math error — it's fees that simply aren't in the tool. This calculator models the first three directly and warns you about the rest.
Inbound placement
Up to ~$1.90/unit standard-size, ~$6.50 large bulky for single-location sends. Not included in Amazon's own revenue calculator.
Low-inventory-level fee
Up to $2.09/unit when days of supply run under 28. Punishes lean restocking — and stacks on every unit you ship while under the threshold.
Storage over time
A unit that sits 3 months costs 3× the monthly rate — and Q4 storage is 3× the Jan–Sep rate. Most tools price storage at zero or one month.
Returns processing & refund administration
Modeled here as a returns allowance: the unrefunded fulfillment fee plus Amazon's refund admin fee (20% of referral, up to $5), scaled by your return rate. Apparel and high-return-rate products pay an additional per-unit returns processing fee.
Aged inventory surcharge
From 181 days: $0.50–$7.90 per cubic foot per month on top of storage. If your inventory ages past six months, factor it in before it snowballs.
Since January 2026
Amazon won't prep your units anymore. Someone has to.
Amazon discontinued its FBA prep and labeling services on January 1, 2026 — every unit now has to show up labeled, poly-bagged, and compliant, or it gets refused at the dock. 3PLGuys is an Amazon SPN-certified prep warehouse in Paramount, CA, 15 minutes from the Port of Long Beach: containers land, get inspected and prepped, and roll into FBA without crossing the country first. Holding reserve stock with us also keeps your days of supply above the low-inventory-fee threshold without paying Amazon's storage rates on it.
FBA calculator FAQ
Everything sellers ask about calculating Amazon fees in 2026.
How do I calculate Amazon FBA fees?+
Add up four things: the referral fee (a percentage of your sale price, usually 8–15% depending on category), the FBA fulfillment fee (based on your product's size tier and shipping weight, plus a 3.5% fuel surcharge in 2026), monthly storage (charged per cubic foot), and situational fees like inbound placement or the low-inventory-level fee. The calculator on this page does all of it from your price, cost, dimensions, and weight — and shows the per-unit breakdown line by line.
What FBA fees does Amazon charge in 2026?+
The main ones: referral fees (typically 8–15% of price), FBA fulfillment fees (from about $2.51 with the fuel surcharge for the smallest, cheapest items up to $200+ for extra-large products), monthly inventory storage ($0.78/cu ft standard-size from January–September, $2.40/cu ft October–December), inbound placement service fees (up to about $1.90 per standard-size unit for single-location sends), the low-inventory-level fee, aged inventory surcharges from 181 days, and returns processing fees for apparel or high-return products.
Is this FBA calculator free?+
Yes — completely free, no account, no email, no login. Enter your numbers and get the full fee breakdown instantly. You can also copy a link to any result to share it in a forum post, spreadsheet, or with a business partner.
How accurate is this FBA calculator?+
Fee tables are transcribed from Amazon's official 2026 US rate cards: non-peak fulfillment fees effective January 15, 2026, with the 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge applied since April 17, 2026, current referral percentages by category, and 2026 storage, placement, and low-inventory rates. Inbound placement fees vary by region, so we use the midpoint of Amazon's published range and show you the full range. Always confirm final fees for a specific ASIN in Seller Central — Amazon bills on its own warehouse measurements, not your listing data.
What is the 3.5% FBA fuel and logistics surcharge?+
Since April 17, 2026, Amazon applies a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge to all FBA fulfillment fees in the US. A $5.00 base fulfillment fee actually bills at about $5.18. Most fee tables published before April 2026 don't include it — this calculator applies it automatically and shows it as its own line.
What is dimensional weight and when does Amazon use it?+
Dimensional weight is length × width × height (in inches) divided by 139, expressed in pounds. For large standard, bulky, and most extra-large products, Amazon bills the greater of actual weight and dimensional weight — so a light but boxy product gets charged as if it were heavier. Small standard items are always billed on actual weight. Bulky and extra-large items are calculated with a minimum 2-inch width and height.
How do Amazon product size tiers work in 2026?+
Every product falls into one of eight tiers based on packed dimensions and shipping weight: small standard (≤16 oz, ≤15×12×0.75 in), large standard (≤20 lb, ≤18×14×8 in), small bulky (new for 2026: ≤50 lb, ≤37×28×20 in), large bulky, and four extra-large weight bands. Your tier determines the fulfillment fee schedule, so a small packaging change that bumps you into a higher tier can quietly add dollars per unit. The size tier inspector in this calculator shows your tier and flags when a cheaper tier is within reach.
What is the FBA inbound placement service fee?+
When you send inventory to a single Amazon location and let Amazon distribute it, you pay a per-unit placement fee — roughly $0.14–$1.90 for standard-size units and up to about $6.50 for large bulky, depending on size, weight, and region. Choosing Amazon's optimized shipment split (sending to 5+ locations yourself) makes the fee $0. Amazon's own revenue calculator doesn't include this fee, which is why real payouts often come in lower than sellers expect.
What is the low-inventory-level fee?+
If your product's historical days of supply stay below 28 days (on both 30-day and 90-day averages), Amazon adds a per-unit fee to everything you ship — up to $0.89 for small standard and $2.09 for large bulky units in 2026. It's calculated at the FNSKU level. Keeping roughly 4+ weeks of sellable inventory in the network avoids it, which is a big reason sellers hold reserve stock at a nearby 3PL and feed FBA continuously.
How much does Amazon FBA storage cost?+
In 2026, monthly storage is $0.78 per cubic foot for standard-size and $0.56 for oversize from January through September, jumping to $2.40 and $1.40 respectively in October–December. On top of that, aged inventory surcharges start at 181 days (from $0.50/cu ft, climbing steeply past 271 days), and long-tenured sellers with slow-turning inventory can also owe a storage utilization surcharge.
What changed in Amazon's FBA fees for 2026?+
The January 15, 2026 update raised fulfillment fees about $0.08 per unit on average, split rate cards into three price bands (under $10, $10–$50, over $50), introduced the cheaper Small Bulky tier, and added an overmax handling fee for very large items. On April 17, 2026, a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge was added to all fulfillment fees. Referral percentages and base storage rates didn't change — and separately, Amazon discontinued its own FBA prep and labeling services on January 1, 2026.
What is a good profit margin for Amazon FBA?+
Most experienced sellers target a net margin of 15–25% after all Amazon fees, landed cost, and advertising. Below 10%, one fee change or ad-cost spike can erase your profit — the 2026 fuel surcharge alone shaved measurable margin off thin listings. Use the margin and max-TACoS outputs above to see how much advertising headroom your product actually has.
Does Amazon still offer FBA prep and labeling services?+
No. Amazon discontinued its FBA prep and item labeling services on January 1, 2026. Every unit must now arrive at Amazon's warehouses fully prepped — labeled, poly-bagged, bundled, and compliant — or risk being refused or charged for noncompliance. Sellers handle prep themselves or use a third-party prep center like 3PLGuys, an Amazon SPN-certified warehouse 15 minutes from the Port of Long Beach.
Is this an FBA revenue calculator or a fee calculator?+
Both. It itemizes every 2026 Amazon fee (fee calculator), then nets them against your price, landed cost, ad spend, and returns to project per-unit and monthly revenue, profit, margin, and ROI (revenue calculator). It also adds what most tools skip: breakeven price, maximum profitable TACoS, and a size-tier advisor that shows when smaller packaging would cut your fees.
