Frequently Asked Questions — Amazon Referral Fees
Key facts regarding category rates, minimum fee rules, and reverse margin solving
How are Amazon referral fees calculated in 2026?
Amazon referral fees are calculated as a percentage of your total sales price (including product price and shipping charges), subject to a category percentage (typically 8% to 17%) or a minimum referral fee of $0.30 per item (whichever is greater).

Most Amazon product categories enforce a minimum referral fee of $0.30 per unit. If your calculated category percentage fee is less than $0.30, Amazon charges the $0.30 minimum.

Categories like Consumer Electronics (8%), low-priced Beauty & Personal Care items ≤ $10 (8%), low-priced Grocery ≤ $15 (8%), and portion of Luxury Jewelry > $250 (5%) offer significantly reduced referral rates.
