Amazon Seller Fees List: Every 2026 Charge Explained
Your settlement report has more lines than your product has features. Here's every Amazon fee in 2026, what triggers each one, and the cheapest way to make it smaller.
The first time I really read an Amazon settlement report, I counted the lines before I counted the money. There were more fee lines than there were features on my product.
So here's the Amazon seller fees list for 2026 in one paragraph. You pay an account fee ($39.99 a month on the Professional plan). You pay a referral fee on every sale (15% in most categories). If you use FBA, you pay a fulfillment fee per unit, plus a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge on that fee, plus a holiday peak fee from October 15 to January 14. You pay inventory fees: monthly storage, storage utilization, aged inventory, low inventory level and inbound placement. And you pay event fees when something specific happens: returns processing, refund administration, removal and disposal, and deal fees. Advertising sits on top of all of it.
That's 15 charges, give or take, and each one has a trigger. Most of them can be made smaller. A few can be made zero.
Below is every fee explained: what it is, what sets it off, what it costs in 2026 (from Amazon's own pages wherever Amazon publishes the number), and the cheapest move to shrink it. Then the math on one $30 sale, so you can see where the money actually goes.
Why is the Amazon fee list so hard to read?
Because Amazon charges rent on three different bases, and they don't line up.
The referral fee is a percentage of your price. The fulfillment fee is a flat rate set by size and weight. The surcharge is a percentage of the fulfillment fee. Storage is charged by cubic foot and by month. The low inventory fee is charged per unit, but only when your stock is too thin. The aged inventory surcharge is charged per cubic foot, but only when your stock is too old.
Raise your price and one fee grows. Cut your price and the flat ones don't shrink. Carry too much stock and you pay one penalty. Carry too little and you pay another.
Here's the thing. Sellers usually look at fees as a percentage of revenue. That's the wrong lens. Fees should be measured against what you keep per unit, because that's the number they're eating.
A fee that's 2% of your price can be 10% of your profit. Always measure Amazon fees against what you keep, never against what you charge.
The other reason it's hard: Amazon changed the rules three times this year. January 15 brought the annual fee update. April 17 brought the surcharge. October 15 brought peak fees. If you set your fee assumptions once in January, they've been wrong since spring. We covered the timeline in Amazon FBA fee changes 2026. This post is the full glossary.
What are the account and selling plan fees?
These are the fees you pay for being on the platform at all. Two options, per Amazon's pricing page.
Professional selling plan
- What it is: a flat $39.99 a month subscription.
- What triggers it: having a Professional account. It charges whether you sell 1 unit or 10,000.
- How to cut it: you can't, if you sell more than about 40 units a month. Below that, the Individual plan is cheaper.
Individual selling plan
- What it is: $0.99 per item sold, no monthly fee.
- What triggers it: every unit sold on an Individual account.
- How to cut it: do the math. At 41 units a month, $0.99 x 41 is $40.59, which is already more than the Professional plan. If you're serious, you're on Professional.
The selling plan is the only Amazon fee that gets cheaper per unit the more you sell. Every other fee on this list scales with you.
How does the Amazon referral fee work?
The referral fee is Amazon's commission. It's charged on every sale, FBA or not, as a percentage of the total sale price, with a $0.30 minimum per item in most categories.
Here are the rates from Amazon's pricing page for the categories most of our readers sell in:
| Category | Referral fee | Minimum per item |
|---|---|---|
| Home and Kitchen | 15% | $0.30 |
| Beauty, Health and Personal Care | 8% up to $10, 15% above $10 | $0.30 |
| Clothing and Accessories | 5% up to $15, 10% from $15 to $20, 17% above $20 | $0.30 |
| Consumer Electronics | 8% | $0.30 |
| Electronics Accessories | 15% up to $100, 8% above $100 | $0.30 |
| Grocery and Gourmet | 8% up to $15, 15% above $15 | none listed |
| Jewelry | 20% up to $250, 5% above $250 | $0.30 |
| Media (books, DVD, music) | 15% plus a $1.80 closing fee | none listed |
| Everything else | 15% | $0.30 |
- What triggers it: every sale.
- What it costs in 2026: the same as 2025. Amazon's 2026 fee announcement raised fulfillment fees but left referral percentages alone.
- How to cut it: watch the price breaks. A beauty product at $10.49 pays 15% ($1.57). The same product at $9.99 pays 8% ($0.80). On a clothing item, $15.99 pays 10% and $20.49 pays 17%. Before you set a price, check which side of the break you're on.
And watch what happens when you raise your price to cover other fees. The referral fee takes 15% of the increase. To keep an extra $1.00 per unit after a 15% referral fee, you have to raise the price by $1.00 divided by 0.85, which is $1.18.
The referral fee didn't go up in 2026. It didn't need to. Every price increase you make to cover the other fees hands Amazon 15% of the increase.
Closing fee (media only)
- What it is: a flat $1.80 per item on books, DVDs, music and video, on top of the 15% referral fee.
- What triggers it: selling in a media category.
- How to cut it: nothing practical. Price it in.
What are the FBA fulfillment fees?
If Amazon picks, packs and ships your order, you pay a fulfillment fee per unit. It's set by size tier, weight, and since 2024, by price band. This is usually the biggest single Amazon fee on a product under $40.
FBA fulfillment fee
- What it is: Amazon describes it as a cost "based on the product's price, weight, and dimensions" on its FBA page.
- What it costs in 2026: fees rose by an average of $0.08 per unit on January 15, 2026, which Amazon called "less than 0.5% of an average item's selling price" in its 2026 fee update. A sample from amzprep's 2026 rate card: a 2 to 4 oz small standard item priced $10 to $50 pays $3.42, and a 2.25 to 2.5 lb large standard item in the same price band pays $6.10.
- What triggers it: every FBA unit shipped.
- How to cut it: size and weight. Shaving an inch off the box can drop you a full size tier. I've seen a packaging change save more than a price increase earned. Measure your unit, look at the tier boundary, and ask your supplier what it would take to get under it.
Low-price FBA rates
- What it is: a cheaper fulfillment rate for items priced under $10. Per amzprep, it averages $0.86 less per unit than the $10 to $50 band.
- What triggers it: a price under $10.
- How to cut it: this one cuts itself, but only if the low price makes sense. A $9.99 item that keeps $1.20 a unit is still a thin business.
Fuel and logistics surcharge (3.5%)
- What it is: a 3.5% charge on your fulfillment fee. Amazon says the average is about $0.17 per unit for US FBA, per its surcharge announcement.
- What triggers it: every FBA unit from April 17, 2026. It reached Buy with Prime and Multi-Channel Fulfillment on May 2, 2026.
- How to cut it: you cut it by cutting the fulfillment fee underneath it. The surcharge is a percentage of that fee, not of your sale price, so every size tier you drop saves you the surcharge too.
Holiday peak fulfillment fee
- What it is: a seasonal add-on that averages $0.32 per unit, per Amazon's holiday 2026 announcement. The 3.5% surcharge applies on top.
- What triggers it: any FBA, Remote Fulfillment, Multi-Channel Fulfillment or Buy with Prime unit shipped from October 15, 2026 to January 14, 2027. That means right now.
- How to cut it: you can't skip it, so price for it. If peak plus surcharge adds $0.33 to a unit, you need $0.33 divided by 0.85, about $0.39, of extra price to hold margin.
If you send your Shopify orders through Amazon's warehouses, these fees follow you there too. The math is in Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment for Shopify.
Which inventory fees does Amazon charge?
This is where most sellers lose money they never see. Inventory fees punish you for having the wrong amount of stock: too much, too old, or too little. And they're the most avoidable lines on the whole Amazon seller fees list.
Monthly storage fee
- What it is: a charge per cubic foot of space your inventory takes up in Amazon's warehouses, billed monthly.
- What it costs: Amazon's global selling inventory page lists $2.40 per cubic foot for standard-size items from October to December, and $1.40 for oversize. The off-peak standard rate is listed at $0.87 on that page and $0.78 on amzprep's 2026 card, so check your own Fee Preview for the current number.
- What triggers it: inventory sitting in a fulfillment center during the month.
- How to cut it: the October to December rate is roughly three times the off-peak rate. Inventory that arrives in early October and sells in December pays the high rate for three months. Ship closer to the sale, and send fewer slow movers into Q4.
Storage utilization surcharge
- What it is: an extra per-cubic-foot charge when the space you take up is high relative to what you sell. Amazon's page lists tiers by weeks of supply. amzprep's 2026 card puts it above 22 weeks of supply at $0.44 to $1.88 per cubic foot, depending on the tier.
- What triggers it: too much stock for your sales speed, measured across your whole account.
- How to cut it: keep total weeks of supply under the threshold. The fastest fix is removing or liquidating your slowest 10% of SKUs, because they carry most of the cubic feet and very little of the sales.
Aged inventory surcharge
- What it is: a monthly per-cubic-foot charge on units that have sat in Amazon's warehouses too long. It's assessed on the 15th of each month on top of normal storage.
- What it costs in 2026: Amazon's aged inventory announcement, effective January 16, 2026:
| Days in storage | Surcharge |
|---|---|
| 181 to 210 | $0.50 per cubic foot |
| 211 to 240 | $1.00 per cubic foot |
| 241 to 270 | $1.50 per cubic foot |
| 271 to 300 | $5.45 per cubic foot |
| 301 to 330 | $5.70 per cubic foot |
| 331 to 365 | $5.90 per cubic foot |
| 366 to 455 | $6.90 per cubic foot or $0.30 per unit, whichever is greater |
| 456 and over | $7.90 per cubic foot or $0.35 per unit, whichever is greater |
Clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry and watches are excluded.
- What triggers it: units passing 181 days. Look at the jump at 271 days. It goes from $1.50 to $5.45, more than triple, in one step.
- How to cut it: file removal orders before the 14th of the month (Amazon's cut-off is 11:59 PM Pacific on the 14th), and run a price cut or a deal on anything heading toward day 271. We break down the full playbook in the Amazon aged inventory surcharge.
Aged inventory is a cost you choose in January and pay for in August. The cheapest time to fix it is the day you place the purchase order.
Low inventory level fee
- What it is: a per-unit charge added to the fulfillment fee when your stock is too thin. Amazon says it only applies when historical days of supply is under 28 days in both the last 30 days and the last 90 days, per this Seller Central thread.
- What it costs: amzprep lists $0.32 to $2.09 per unit, by size and how short you are.
- What triggers it: selling faster than you restock. Seller-tool publishers report that from January 15, 2026 it's judged per FNSKU (each size and color on its own) instead of per parent listing, though InventoryHero notes it couldn't confirm that from a public Amazon page.
- Exemptions: products that sold fewer than 20 units in the past 7 days, per Amazon's update. Also new professional sellers for 365 days, new-to-FBA products in FBA New Selection for 180 days, and products auto-replenished by Amazon Warehousing and Distribution.
- How to cut it: keep every variant above 28 days of supply and plan for 35. Restock the fastest variant first. The math is in the Amazon low inventory level fee.
Put the last two together and you see the squeeze. Too old and you pay the aged surcharge. Too thin and you pay the low inventory fee. The safe zone is narrow, and Amazon gets paid on both sides of it.
Inbound placement service fee
- What it is: a per-unit fee for Amazon spreading your shipment across its network when you send it to fewer locations. Amazon lists it on its FBA page as covering "distributing inventory to fulfillment centers."
- What it costs in 2026: amzprep's placement fee breakdown lists small standard items at $0.21 to $0.30 per unit for a minimal split (one location) and $0.12 to $0.21 for a partial split (two or three locations). Shipping to four or more locations carries no placement fee.
- What triggers it: choosing fewer destinations when you create the shipment.
- How to cut it: if your volume is high enough to split, split. The trade is more freight legs for zero placement fee. On 5,000 units a quarter, a $0.30 fee is $1,500.
What event fees show up on the settlement report?
These fees don't hit every unit. They hit when something specific happens: a return, a refund, a removal, a deal. That's why they surprise people.
Returns processing fee
- What it is: a per-unit fee Amazon charges for handling returns, which its FBA page ties to cases "when Amazon provides a customer with free return shipping."
- What triggers it: returns above your category's return rate threshold. Per amzprep, the "Everything Else" threshold is 4.80%, and in apparel and shoes there's no threshold at all: the fee applies to every returned unit.
- How to cut it: read your return reasons. "Not as described" and "smaller than expected" are listing problems, and they're the cheapest returns to stop. A photo with a hand in it for scale has saved more than one product I've looked at.
Refund administration fee
- What it is: when you refund an order, Amazon gives back the referral fee minus an admin cut. Jungle Scout's fee explainer puts it at $5.00 or 20% of the refunded charge, whichever is less. Amazon's UK forum describes the same rule as 20% up to £5 per item.
- What triggers it: every refund.
- How to cut it: the same way you cut returns. On a $30 item with a $4.50 referral fee, Amazon keeps $0.90 of it on every refund, on top of whatever the return cost you.
Removal, disposal and liquidation fees
- What it is: per-unit fees for getting stock back out of Amazon, destroying it, or selling it off through FBA Liquidations.
- What it costs: amzprep's 2026 card lists $0.84 per unit for the lightest standard-size tier, rising with weight. Amazon's global selling page lists liquidations processing at $0.25 to $0.40 per standard-size unit, with the referral fee also applied.
- What triggers it: a removal or liquidation order you place.
- How to cut it: compare it against what you're about to pay to keep the unit. A $0.84 removal is cheap next to a $5.45 per cubic foot aged surcharge that charges again every month.
Deal fees
- What it is: fees for Best Deals, Lightning Deals and Prime Exclusive Discounts. Amazon's holiday 2026 announcement lists $100 upfront per promotion plus 1.5% of promotional sales, capped at $5,000.
- What triggers it: running a deal.
- How to cut it: skip deals on ASINs that keep under $5 a unit at peak rates. A deal that sells $20,000 costs $100 plus $300, so $400, before the discount itself. Our Amazon Black Friday deals guide has the per-unit comparison.
Advertising
Advertising isn't a fee on Amazon's rate card. It shows up on your statement anyway, and for many sellers it's the second biggest line after fulfillment. Sponsored Products charges per click, so the cost depends on your bids and your conversion rate. That's the one line on this whole list where a better listing directly lowers the cost: when more clicks turn into orders, every sale costs fewer clicks.
Every fee on Amazon's rate card is set by Amazon. Advertising is the one cost that gets cheaper when your page gets better.
How much of a $30 sale goes to Amazon fees?
Let's put the whole list on one unit. Run the math on a product like this, a hypothetical: a large standard item weighing about 2.3 lb, selling for $30, shipped through FBA during the current peak window.
- Referral fee: 15% of $30 is $4.50.
- Fulfillment fee: $6.10 base (the amzprep 2026 sample for this weight and price band), plus the $0.32 average peak fee, is $6.42. Add the 3.5% surcharge and it's $6.64.
- Storage: the unit takes up 0.1 cubic feet and sits for one month at the $2.40 peak rate. That's $0.24.
- Inbound placement: a hypothetical $0.40 per unit for a minimal split.
- Advertising: a hypothetical $3.00 per unit sold.
- Landed product cost: a hypothetical $7.50.
Here's the math. Amazon's fees alone are $4.50 plus $6.64 plus $0.24 plus $0.40, which is $11.78. That's 39% of the price. Add $3.00 of advertising and $7.50 of product cost and you've spent $22.28. You keep $7.72.
Hypothetical unit. Referral rate from Amazon's pricing page, peak fee and 3.5% surcharge from Amazon's announcements, base fulfillment fee from amzprep's 2026 card. Ads, storage size, placement and product cost are assumptions.
$7.72 on a $30 sale. And that's before a single return.
Now add the events. Say 5% of units come back. Each refund costs $0.90 in refund administration, plus a returns processing fee if you're above the threshold, plus the unit itself if it can't be resold. On 1,000 units a month, 50 refunds at $0.90 is $45 in admin fees alone, before the lost product.
Then watch what happens if one variant runs thin in December. Say the low inventory fee comes to $0.97 a unit. On 300 units of that variant, that's $291. If the reorder lands late and the stock ages into next summer, the aged surcharge starts charging the same inventory again.
This is why Amazon sellers who look at revenue feel rich and sellers who look at the settlement report feel tired.
On Amazon, revenue is the landlord's number. What's left after the settlement report is yours.
How do you audit every fee line on your own settlement report?
Here's the process I'd run, and it takes about an hour per month once you've done it the first time.
- Download the last full month. Pull your settlement or transaction report for one complete month, plus the Fee Preview report for your top SKUs.
- Sort every line into five buckets. Account, referral, fulfillment (including the surcharge and peak fee), inventory (storage, utilization, aged, low inventory, placement) and events (returns, refunds, removals, deals).
- Divide each bucket by units sold. Per-unit is the only view that makes sense. A $2,000 storage line means nothing until you know it's $0.40 a unit on a product that keeps $4.
- Rank the avoidable buckets. Referral and fulfillment are mostly fixed. Inventory and events are mostly choices. Start there.
- Fix one line per month. Not five. One. Then check next month's report to see if it moved.
AI makes steps 2 and 3 much faster today. Export the report as a CSV, paste it into an AI assistant like ChatGPT or Claude, and ask it to group each transaction type into those five buckets and divide by units. Check its totals against the report's own totals before you trust it, because an AI that miscounts one row will give you a confident wrong answer. But the sorting job that used to take an afternoon now takes a few minutes.
I'll admit something. For years I ran my Amazon products off one number, the fee estimate I calculated when I launched. It was right for about eight months. After that every fee change made it a little more wrong, and I never went back to check. That's the trap. The fee list moves. Your spreadsheet doesn't.
Which Amazon fees can you actually reduce?
Here's the whole Amazon fee glossary sorted by how much control you have.
| Fee | How much control you have | The cheapest move |
|---|---|---|
| Professional plan | None | Accept it |
| Referral fee | Low | Price on the right side of category breaks |
| Closing fee (media) | None | Price it in |
| Fulfillment fee | Medium | Drop a size or weight tier with packaging |
| 3.5% surcharge | Medium | Falls with the fulfillment fee |
| Peak fulfillment fee | Low | Price for it from October 15 |
| Monthly storage | High | Ship closer to the sale, fewer slow movers in Q4 |
| Storage utilization | High | Remove or liquidate the slowest SKUs |
| Aged inventory surcharge | High | Remove before day 271, order smaller |
| Low inventory level fee | High | Keep every variant above 28 days of supply |
| Inbound placement | High | Ship to four or more locations |
| Returns processing | Medium | Fix the listing that causes "not as described" |
| Refund administration | Medium | Fewer refunds |
| Removal and disposal | High | Remove early, before the surcharge climbs |
| Deal fees | High | Skip deals on low-margin ASINs |
| Advertising | High | Better listing, higher conversion rate, fewer clicks per sale |
Count the rows. Twelve of 16 sit at medium or high control. Most of what's eating your margin is a planning problem, and planning problems are cheaper to fix than price problems.
But here's the thing. Even if you cut every avoidable fee to zero, the referral fee and the fulfillment fee stay. On the $30 hypothetical, those two alone are $11.14. You can run the tightest inventory on Amazon and still hand over 37% of the price before ads.
What does the same product earn on a page you own?
That's the question underneath this whole list. Not "how do I cut Amazon fees" but "how much of this product's profit should Amazon get at all."
Three client products on our results page ran on Amazon first and then on their own Shopify store with a rebuilt product page. Real client numbers, not typical results, and not a promise of what your store will do.
Smart Mole, an animal repellent, sold at $17.95 on Amazon. Platform fees took $2.69 (15%), and net profit per sale was $3.83. On Shopify at $24.95, platform fees were $0.75 (3%), the average order climbed to $101.38, and net profit per sale was $48.27, after paying for ads and inventory.
The fee line moved from 15% to 3%. That's the small part. The big part is what an owned page does to the order. On Amazon, the listing sells one unit at the Buy Box price. On your own page, the page sells the bundle, the refill and the bigger size. The full side-by-side for all three products is in Amazon vs Shopify profit per sale.
So let's put a number on it. Revenue per visitor is conversion rate times average order value. It's the one number that tells you what each visitor is worth before any fees.
Run the math on a listing like this, a hypothetical: 10,000 visitors a month, a 1.5% conversion rate and a $30 average order value. That's a revenue per visitor of $0.45, or $4,500 a month in revenue. At $7.72 kept per unit, 150 orders leaves you $1,158.
Now the same product on a page you own, also hypothetical: the page converts at 2.0% and sells a two-pack, so the average order value is $60. That's a revenue per visitor of $1.20, or $12,000 a month on the same 10,000 visitors. No referral fee. No peak fee. No aged surcharge.
And it's the same product in the same box. The difference is who writes the rules on the page.
Every Amazon fee on this list is a percentage or a rate somebody else sets. A page you own is the only place where the price, the offer and the fees are all yours.
Amazon still matters. It's the biggest shelf in the country. But a shelf you rent should be one channel, not the whole company. Our Amazon selling guide for 2026 covers how to run the marketplace side well, and the Amazon seller page shows what the fee math looks like when your best product also lives on your own store.
Amazon seller fees FAQ
What are all the Amazon seller fees in 2026?
Five families: account fees ($39.99 a month Professional or $0.99 per item Individual), the referral fee (8% to 20% by category, 15% for most), FBA fulfillment fees with the 3.5% surcharge and the Q4 peak fee, inventory fees (storage, utilization, aged, low inventory, placement), and event fees (returns, refunds, removals, deals). Advertising sits on top.
What is the biggest fee on Amazon?
For most FBA products under about $40, it's the fulfillment fee, with the referral fee second. On higher-priced items the referral fee takes over because it grows with price and the fulfillment fee doesn't.
Which Amazon fees can I actually avoid?
Most inventory fees. Stay above 28 days of supply to avoid the low inventory level fee, sell or remove units before 181 days to avoid the aged surcharge, and ship to four or more locations to get a $0 placement fee. The referral and fulfillment fees only move with price, size or weight.
How do I read Amazon fees on my settlement report?
Sort every line into account, referral, fulfillment, inventory and events, then divide each bucket by units sold. The per-unit number shows you which fee to attack first.
Did Amazon add new fees in 2026?
Amazon said there would be no new FBA fee types in 2026. Fulfillment fees rose an average of $0.08 per unit on January 15, a 3.5% surcharge started April 17, and peak fees averaging $0.32 run October 15, 2026 to January 14, 2027.
What percentage of a sale does Amazon take?
On the hypothetical $30 FBA item above, fees came to $11.78 in Q4, or 39% of the price, and 49% with $3 of ads. Your Fee Preview report shows your real number.
What to do next
One move this week. Download last month's settlement report, sort every line into the five buckets, and divide each by units sold. Then pick the single biggest avoidable bucket (it'll almost always be an inventory fee) and fix that one thing before your next reorder.

Frequently asked questions
What are all the Amazon seller fees in 2026?
There are five families. Account fees (the $39.99 a month Professional plan or $0.99 per item on Individual), the referral fee (8% to 20% by category, 15% for most), FBA fulfillment fees plus the 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge and the Q4 peak fee, inventory fees (monthly storage, storage utilization, aged inventory, low inventory level, inbound placement), and event fees (returns processing, refund administration, removal and disposal, deal fees). Advertising sits on top of all of them.
What is the biggest fee on Amazon?
For most FBA products under about $40, the fulfillment fee is the biggest line, and the referral fee is second. On a hypothetical $30 item weighing about 2.3 lb, the Q4 fulfillment fee with peak and surcharge is about $6.64 and the 15% referral fee is $4.50. On higher-priced items the referral fee takes over, because it grows with price and the fulfillment fee doesn't.
Which Amazon fees can I actually avoid?
Most inventory fees are avoidable with stock planning. The low inventory level fee goes away above 28 days of supply, the aged inventory surcharge starts at 181 days, and the inbound placement fee drops to zero when you ship to four or more locations. The referral fee and fulfillment fee can only be reduced by changing price, size or weight.
How do I read Amazon fees on my settlement report?
Group every line into five buckets: account, referral, fulfillment, inventory and events. Then divide each bucket by units sold for the period. The per-unit number tells you which fee to attack first, and it's usually an inventory fee you could have avoided.
Did Amazon add new fees in 2026?
Amazon said there would be no new FBA fee types in 2026, and fulfillment fees rose an average of $0.08 per unit on January 15. Then it added a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge on fulfillment fees from April 17, and holiday peak fees averaging $0.32 per unit run from October 15, 2026 to January 14, 2027.
What percentage of a sale does Amazon take?
On a hypothetical $30 FBA item in Q4, the referral fee, fulfillment fee, one month of peak storage and an inbound placement fee add up to $11.78, which is 39% of the price. Add $3 of advertising and it's 49%. Your own numbers will vary by category, size and weight, so pull your Fee Preview report.
