You have a product in mind that you want to sell on Amazon, and you’re feeling good about possibly sourcing it. Until a nagging question arises: How much money can I actually make on this thing? What will my FBA fees be?
Then more questions.
What are the fees Amazon is going to charge me for selling in their marketplace? What about for storing my product in their distribution facilities, for order picking, packing, shipping, and delivery?
Making money on Amazon suddenly looks and feels pretty expensive.
Don’t panic; don’t give up your dream. There is a way you can easily find how much profit you can make on any product, minus fees and expenses. You can even see the amount of money you need to spend in product sourcing to be successful. Get the lay of your financial land with Viral Launch’s Amazon FBA Calculator.
Count The Cost
Viral Launch’s Amazon FBA Calculator calculates how much profit you can make, factoring in Amazon FBA fees and expenses to list your product. It helps you see how much you could make on a given product, accounting for Amazon fees and the cost of inventory month by month.
But how much money am I going to have to lay out upfront? When am I going to make money?
While other calculators can’t or won’t show you upfront cost, the FBA Revenue Calculator does so you can see your total initial outlay alongside your total profitability. You’ll see clearly how much cash it will take to source that product you think you want to sell and how much you will make on that run of inventory.
Our calculator offers a more realistic picture of what it will take to bring your product to market. It eliminates the guesswork, smooths the process and, perhaps most importantly, removes the fear of financial failure.
We’ll take you through how the Amazon Revenue Calculator works in a bit. But first we need to figure out exactly what costs are incurred. Known as FBA Fees, these variable expenditures pay for all of the Amazon order handling, pick and pack, shipping, weight handling, and inventory storage in Amazon’s warehouses.
FBA Fulfillment Fee: This charge rolls Order Handling, Pick and Pack, and Weight Handling fees into one tidy sum.
Monthly Inventory Storage Fee: As the name suggests, this is what you pay for Amazon to put a warehouse roof over your inventory.
