To calculate Amazon fees: (1) Multiply gross selling price by your category referral percentage (e.g. 15%). (2) Add $0.99 per item if on the Individual plan.

FBA fees increase if your item: (1) Exceeds standard size dimensions into oversize categories (length × width × height ÷ 139 dimensional weight); (2) Incurs aged inventory surcharges (>180 days in storage); (3) Maintains low inventory levels triggering low-inventory-level fees; or (4) Accumulates peak holiday storage rates between October and December.
