FAQ:
What is Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)?
Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is a service that helps businesses grow by providing access to Amazon's logistics network. Businesses send products to Amazon fulfillment centers and when a customer makes a purchase, we handle receiving, packing, shipping, customer service, and returns for those orders. Effective, reliable fulfillment delights customers. If you use multi-channel fulfillment (MCF), where Amazon handles the packing and shipping of products sold through channels other than Amazon for you, inventory management can be consolidated, which makes it more possible to run a smooth business.

2. Fill in product information
If the product has been registered on Amazon

Amazon jargon:
ASIN
Every product offered for sale on Amazon gets an automatically generated ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number). However, GTIN and SKUs are not automatically generated. Multiple sellers may offer the same ASIN when listing the same product. ASINs can be found on Amazon’s product page under "Product Information," or through Seller Central.
Amazon jargon:
SKU
SKU is an English abbreviation for "Stock Keeping Unit", which is a term that indicates the smallest unit when managing inventory.
In Japanese, it is sometimes called an "inventory control number" or "product control number". Even if the same product comes in a different size or color, you can find out what it is with the SKU. You can check SKUs from Seller Central.

By filling in the blank fields with the actual costs incurred, you can get a more accurate simulation.
Additionally, by selecting "Choose Options" on the right, you can compare the costs of the fulfilled by Amazon option versus the seller-fulfilled option in a graph.

4. FBA Revenue Calculator usage examples
For example, let’s try estimating the costs for a box of masks that are not yet registered on Amazon. The details for the box of masks are assumed to be as follows.
*This is a product that does not exist.
*This is a product that does not exist.
Example: Box of masks
/ Dimensions: 20 x 10 x 10 cm
/ Weight: 200 g
/Product price: 800 yen
/Shipping fee: 300 yen
/ Dimensions: 20 x 10 x 10 cm
/ Weight: 200 g
/Product price: 800 yen
/Shipping fee: 300 yen
Enter this information as shown in the image.

Once you search, you can check the estimate as shown in the image below. In this case, if you use FBA to fulfill from Amazon, the net profit per item will be 237 yen, and the net profit margin will be 29.58%. And for the seller-fulfilled option, you will need to enter the shipping costs. Here, if we assume it amounts to 800 yen, the net profit will be 112 yen, and the net profit margin will be 10.18%. This shows that using FBA helps optimize costs.
*Shipping costs have been tentatively set based on the shipping fee for a 40-size parcel from a major courier company. Please note that this is for reference and may differ from actual costs.
*The "fixed closing fee" included in Amazon fees applies only to Individual sellers.

Three things to keep in mind about the FBA Revenue Calculator
The FBA Revenue Calculator is a convenient tool for sellers to plan their sales on Amazon, but note that the calculation results only serve as a benchmark. Here are three things to keep in mind when using the FBA Revenue Calculator.
1. Excise tax calculation
The FBA Revenue Calculator does not have a column for entering excise tax, so you will need to calculate excise tax separately.
Selling fees are subject to excise tax. For example, if the FBA Revenue Calculator shows a selling fee of 100 yen, the actual amount including excise tax will be 110 yen.
*Calculation based on a 10% excise tax as of March 2025.
Note that if you want to make a more accurate calculation, you will need to calculate the excise tax yourself.

Amazon jargon:
Referral fees
For every item sold, sellers pay Amazon a percentage of the total price, or a minimum amount, whichever is greater. This includes item price, shipping cost, and any gift-wrapping charges. Referral fees are in addition to selling plan fees.

Since the FBA Revenue Calculator calculates standard fees, it may not reflect special campaigns or programs. Amazon also has incentive programs for new sellers, so if any such promotions or programs are available, check Seller Central in addition to using the Calculator.
