Amazon Seller Fee Calculator India: Complete Guide
Amazon India charges sellers a combination of referral fee, closing fee, fulfillment or shipping fee, and 18% GST on those platform charges. Getting any one of these wrong when setting a listing price can quietly eliminate margin or push you into loss on high-volume SKUs. This calculator brings all components into one view — enter your product's selling price, cost, category, weight, and shipping zone to see exactly what Amazon will deduct and what profit remains.
Fulfillment type has the largest cost variance per order. FBA (Fulfilment by Amazon) bundles pick, pack, and dispatch fees into a single weight-based slab but also adds monthly storage charges for slow-moving inventory. Easy Ship uses your own packaging but Amazon handles the last-mile delivery at a zone and weight-linked rate. Self Ship routes the order through your own logistics, giving you rate control but placing the delivery SLA risk on you. For products under 500g shipping to local zones, Easy Ship is often cheaper than FBA's minimum slab. For heavy or bulky items sent to faraway zones, FBA's rate card can quickly exceed a competitive courier rate.
Referral fees vary sharply by category and subcategory. Electronics and large appliances attract 5–8%. Clothing, footwear, and jewelry run 15–20%. Books and media products carry a flat slab. Categories like fine jewelry apply a minimum referral fee floor that applies regardless of selling price. Closing fees are applied as flat amounts on per-unit sales in specific categories — unverified assumptions here are a common cause of pricing errors for new sellers.
GST and TCS affect cash flow, not just margin. Amazon levies 18% GST on all platform fees. If your business is GST-registered, this amount is recoverable as Input Tax Credit (ITC) via GSTR-2B, reducing your effective fee burden. Unregistered sellers absorb the full cost. Additionally, Amazon deducts TCS (Tax Collected at Source) at 1% on the order value and remits it to the government. TCS is not a permanent cost — it is claimable against your advance tax liability during annual income tax filing. Track TCS separately from operating costs for accurate profitability.
How to use this tool
Enter selling price, cost price, product category, item weight, shipping zone, and fulfillment type. Add GST rate on product and packaging cost if applicable. Switch fulfillment type to compare scenarios.
What the output includes
Referral fee (with % shown), closing fee, shipping or FBA fee, GST on Amazon fees, packaging cost, total Amazon fees, product cost, total cost, gross profit, and margin percentage.
When to re-run the calculation
Re-run whenever Amazon revises its fee schedule, when you change fulfillment type or shipping zone coverage, when you run promotions, or when COGS shifts due to sourcing changes.
For best results, verify fee inputs against the current Amazon Seller Central rate card. Final settlement values will vary based on return rates, account-level programs, promotional commitments, and policy updates applied after order completion.

Amazon Seller Calculator FAQ
Is this suitable for first-time Amazon India sellers?
Yes, and especially useful. First-time sellers frequently underestimate total platform deductions because they focus on the referral fee percentage alone and miss the closing fee, 18% GST on all platform charges, and TCS at 1% of order value. Enter your expected selling price, COGS, product category, item weight, and fulfillment type before listing to see the full deduction stack. Pay particular attention to whether your category carries a minimum referral fee — some categories apply a floor amount that kicks in regardless of selling price, making very low-priced SKUs disproportionately expensive to sell on Amazon.
Does this replace official Amazon settlement reports?
No. This is a forward-looking planning calculator for estimating margin before or during a listing. Amazon's official settlement report in Seller Central covers a specific payment period and reflects actual order-level deductions including return adjustments, Safe-T claims, A-to-Z guarantee chargebacks, storage fee accruals, promotional price commitments, and any Lightning Deal or voucher funding deducted from your account. Use this calculator for pre-listing price modelling, and cross-check your actual settlement report for post-sale reconciliation.
Can I compare fulfillment models using the same product data?
Yes. Enter your product details once and switch the fulfillment type between FBA, Easy Ship, and Self Ship to compare fee and margin impact side by side. FBA bundles pick, pack, and last-mile delivery into one weight-based slab but adds monthly storage fees for slow-moving inventory — this makes FBA more cost-effective on high-velocity SKUs and less attractive on bulky or slow-turning products. Easy Ship uses your own packaging with Amazon handling last-mile at a zone and weight-linked rate. Self Ship gives you rate control but places delivery SLA risk and return logistics management on your operation. For light products under 500g sent to local zones, Easy Ship often undercuts FBA's minimum slab. For heavy or nationally distributed products, compare the FBA rate card against your negotiated courier rate before deciding.
How do referral fees differ across product categories on Amazon India?
Referral fee percentages vary significantly by category and subcategory. Electronics and mobile accessories typically attract 5–8%; large appliances often have lower slab rates that reduce at higher price points. Clothing, footwear, and fashion jewelry run 15–20%. Books and media products carry flat per-item slabs rather than a revenue percentage. Fine jewelry, watches, and certain gift card categories apply a minimum referral fee floor regardless of selling price — meaning a ₹200 product in such a category may pay the same referral fee as a ₹800 product, compressing margin sharply at low price points. Always verify the current active rate card in Seller Central before finalising pricing for a new category, as Amazon updates fee schedules periodically.
How does GST on Amazon fees work, and can I claim input credit?
Amazon charges 18% GST on all platform service charges — referral fee, closing fee, FBA fulfillment fee, and Easy Ship shipping fee. This GST appears on your tax invoice from Amazon Services India. If your business is GST-registered, the 18% is claimable as Input Tax Credit (ITC) on your monthly GSTR-2B once Amazon reports the transaction to the GST portal — typically within the same month. Claiming ITC effectively reduces your net fee burden from the headline rate to the net-of-credit rate. Sellers not registered under GST (below the turnover threshold or voluntarily unregistered) absorb the full 18% as a cost with no recovery. TCS is a separate deduction: Amazon withholds 1% of the order value and deposits it with the government under your PAN. It is not a business expense — it is an advance against your income tax liability and is claimable when filing your annual return.
Why does my actual settlement differ from this calculator's output?
Settlement differences from calculator estimates arise from several sources. Return deductions are the most common: when a customer returns an order, Amazon debits the fees charged on the original sale from your next settlement cycle rather than refunding them immediately. Safe-T claims not yet resolved, pending A-to-Z guarantee decisions, and reimbursements for lost or damaged FBA inventory all appear in settlement at unpredictable intervals. Monthly FBA storage fees are billed mid-month and appear as lump deductions. Promotional price commitments and funded Lightning Deal fees are deducted post-sale. For product-level reconciliation, download your detailed transaction CSV from Seller Central → Reports → Payments and match line items against calculator outputs. The calculator is designed for clean-order forward planning, not settlement auditing.
