Questions, answered.
How does Amazon calculate referral fees?
Amazon generally applies the category percentage to total price, then uses the category minimum when that amount is higher.
Why does the Amazon category matter?
Referral percentages, tier thresholds, and minimums vary by fee category, which may differ from the customer-facing store category.
Does this include FBA fees?
No. It estimates the referral fee only; fulfillment, storage, ads, selling plans, refunds, and taxes remain separate.
