FBA fees can quickly get complex. In this guide, we break down all the costs for 2025 so you can calculate your margin correctly. Including hidden costs that many sellers overlook.

Overview of FBA Fees

Amazon charges several types of fees for FBA. Here is the complete overview:

Fulfillment Fees in Detail

The fulfillment fee is the main fee and is charged per shipped unit. It is based on:

Standard sizes (up to 45 x 34 x 26 cm)

Weight Fee DE
Up to 100g 2,50€
100-250g 2,85€
250-500g 3,20€
500-1000g 4,10€

Warning: These fees change regularly. Amazon typically updates prices in February and October. Always check the current values in Seller Central.

Understanding Storage Fees

The monthly storage fee is charged per cubic metre:

Long-term storage fee

For products that sit in storage for more than 365 days, Amazon charges an additional 170€/m³. This can completely eat into your margin!

Pro tip: Use the "Aged Inventory Surcharge Report" in Seller Central to avoid long-term storage fees early. Set up discount campaigns for slow-moving products.

Hidden Costs That Sellers Overlook

1. Return fees

For returns, the fulfillment fees are often charged again. With high return rates, this can quickly get expensive.

2. Disposal fees

If you have unsellable goods disposed of, it costs 0,10€ - 0,60€ per unit.

3. Labelling fees

If Amazon has to label your products: 0,15€ per unit.

4. Unplanned Service Fees

For incorrectly prepared shipments, Amazon charges additional fees (0,20€ - 2€ per unit).

How to Calculate Correctly

For a correct margin calculation, you should use the following formula:

Net profit = Selling price
- Amazon Referral Fee (15%)
- FBA Fulfillment Fee
- Proportional storage costs
- Purchase price
- Other costs (returns, PPC, etc.)

With the Sellercore Profit Dashboard, you can track all these costs automatically and see your real margin per product in real time.

FBA fees are complex but calculable. The most important points:

  1. Fulfillment fees are based on size and weight
  2. Storage fees rise significantly in Q4
  3. Long-term storage avoided through good inventory management
  4. Hidden costs (returns, disposal) factored in
