Fee Calculator
Amazon’s fee structure is complex. The Fee Calculator breaks down every fee line from your settlement reports so you can identify which products and fee types are eating your margin.
In this guide:
- Open the Fee Calculator
- Read the summary cards and chart
- Filter by marketplace or product
- Sort products by fee burden
- Export fee data
Step 1: Open the Fee Calculator
Go to SUPPLY CHAIN → Fee Calculator in the sidebar.
Step 2: Read the summary cards
At the top of the page, three cards summarize your fees:
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Current Month | Total Amazon fees charged this month. |
| Estimated Next Month | Projected fees for next month, based on your trailing 3-month average. |
| 12-Month Total | Sum of all fees over the past 12 months. |
Each card includes a trend arrow showing month-over-month change.
Step 3: Select a time range
To the right of the chart, click 6 mo, 12 mo, or 24 mo to view the fee breakdown for the last 6, 12, or 24 months. The chart and table update instantly.
Step 4: Understand the fee categories
The chart shows fees stacked by type. Hilal tracks seven fee categories:
| Fee type | What it includes |
|---|---|
| Storage | FBA monthly storage and long-term storage surcharges. |
| Fulfillment | Pick, pack, ship, and removal fees. |
| Referral | Amazon’s percentage of sale price (varies by category). |
| Ads | Advertising costs (Sponsored Products, Brands, Display, etc.). |
| Inbound | Inbound transportation and shipping partner fees. |
| Refunds | Returns processing and refund administration fees. |
| Other | Miscellaneous Amazon fees not in the above categories. |
Step 5: Filter by marketplace or product
Above the chart, use the Marketplace and Product filter chips to scope the fees to a specific marketplace or SKU. Your selection updates both the chart and the product table below.
Step 6: Sort products by fee burden
The product table lists every SKU with its fees. Click the Fee % of Revenue column header to sort by the percentage of revenue lost to fees — the top rows show products most burdened by Amazon’s charges.
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Title | Product name. |
| SKU | Your SKU. |
| Monthly Fee | Average monthly fees for this product. |
| Fee % of Revenue | Fees as a percentage of sales (sortable). |
| Units Sold | Units moved in the selected period. |
| Per-category breakdown | Storage, Fulfillment, Referral, Ads, Inbound, Refunds, Other. |
Step 7: Export fee data
Click the Export button (top-right, next to the range selector) to download the current view as an Excel file. The export includes all products and fee categories visible after filtering. Filename includes the date and time (e.g., fee-calculator-12mo.xlsx).
Troubleshooting
- Fees don’t match Seller Central exactly. Hilal pulls from settlement reports, which lag actual events by ~14 days. Settlement-period fees should match exactly; very recent days will be approximate.
- A fee category is zero or missing. Not all products incur all fee types. If a SKU has no storage fees, that column shows $0.
- No data for a marketplace. That marketplace may not have any settlements in the selected date range, or no products are associated with it.
- Export file is empty or incomplete. Try narrowing your filters or selecting a longer date range.
