Amazon FBA Fees: General Overview #

To determine your total costs, simply sum up these charges based on your chosen fulfillment options and product specifications.

ℹ️ Note: We recommend you read our related documentation to discover Amazon FBA fees USA structure.

1. Fulfillment Fees #

The fixed cost per unit is determined by the product’s size and weight.

• Envelopes, oversized items, and low-priced FBA products – Fees are based on actual unit weight.
• Parcels and standard oversize items – You will be charged based on either the actual weight or the dimensional weight, whichever is higher. Amazon is simplifying the fee structure for oversized products by reducing the number of weight-size bands from 28 to 17. Instead of fixed bands, a base rate with incremental per-kilogram charges will be introduced. This adjustment aims to make fees more predictable and better aligned with fulfillment costs.
  Additionally, in 2025, the minimum sales fee for special oversized items sold through FBA will be reduced from £25/€25 to £20/€20
• Dimensional weight formula (kg): (Length × Width × Height in cm³) ÷ 5000.
