Let's explore all Amazon seller fees
Whenever you list and sell an item, there are certain fees you'll have to pay, and those fees can add up if you're not expecting them. Below, you'll find a guide to figure out what the insertion fees are and how to calculate your final value fees so that you will realise a profit on the items you list.
Insertion Fee
There are two types of plans offered by Amazon to sellers: a professional plan and an individual plan. The professional plan is a fixed amount per month, but there is no per-item fee. The personal plan has no monthly fee, but there is a per-item listing or insertion fee.
If you're just starting, you might want to try the individual plan while deciding if e‑commerce is for you. Sellers with significant volume will find the professional plan's flat fee to be more value for money.
Revenue and Profit
Running a successful Amazon ecommerce business means keeping an eye on your margins at all times. Here are the important metrics to calculate and track for your business.
Cost of Goods Sold
To calculate the cost of goods sold, add purchases for the period to the beginning inventory and subtract the ending inventory from it.
Cost of Goods Sold = Beginning Inventory + Purchases – Ending Inventory
Total Revenue Formula
Looking to forecast future total revenue? Here is how to calculate it:
Total Revenue = Quantity Sold x Price
Gross Profit
The gross profit is what remains after subtracting all costs associated with making and selling a company's products or providing its services. The formula for it is:
Gross Profit = Revenue – Cost of Goods Sold
Profit Margin
After all, expenses are deducted, the profit margin is the amount of profit left over. The formula is:
(Total Revenue – Total Expenses) / Total Revenue
Category referral fees
When selling on Amazon, partners must pay a referral fee calculated as a percentage of the total sales price. This includes item price, delivery, and gift wrapping charges. Amazon deducts this fee from the total sales price.

|---|---|---|
| Amazon Device Accessories | 45.9% | £0.25 |
| Automotive and Powersports | • 15.3% for the portion of the total sales price up to £45.00 • 9.18% for any portion of the total sales price greater than £45.00 | £0.25 |
