What this Amazon.in calculator works out
Amazon's 2026 fee changes helped low-priced sellers most. Since 16 March 2026 there is no referral fee on products priced up to ₹1,000 in more than 1,800 categories, and since 7 September 2026 closing fees on Easy Ship, FBA and Seller Flex are ₹1 higher up to ₹500 and ₹3 higher above it. This calculator applies the referral rate for your category and price, the closing fee for your price band and channel, and weight handling, then works out the payout, the profit and the break-even price.
How Amazon seller profit is calculated
- Referral fee = selling price × category rate (0% up to ₹1,000 in most categories)
- Payout = selling price − referral fee − closing fee − weight handling − 18% GST on fees − TCS − TDS
- Profit per delivered order = selling price ÷ (1 + GST rate) − fees − product cost − packaging
On Self Ship you pay your own courier, so that cost comes off your profit rather than the payout.
Closing fees used (₹, as of 9 November 2026)
| Selling price | Easy Ship | Self Ship | FBA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to ₹300 | 2 | 20 | 27 |
| ₹301–500 | 23 | 26 | 23 |
| ₹501–1,000 | 48 | 51 | 30 |
| Above ₹1,000 | 79 | 101 | 55 |
Weight handling on Easy Ship is ₹55 up to 500 g, ₹75 up to 1 kg and ₹112 up to 2 kg, ₹10 less for items up to ₹300. FBA adds pick and pack (₹17 up to 1 kg) to regional weight handling of ₹39, ₹54 or ₹78. Some FBA categories pay a lower closing fee below ₹500.
Worked example
A saree sells for ₹899 with 5% GST on Easy Ship in a 500 g parcel. There is no referral fee because the price is under ₹1,000 (sarees pay 15% above that). The closing fee is ₹48 and weight handling ₹55, with ₹18.54 GST on the two, and TCS and TDS take ₹4.28 and ₹0.86, so the payout is ₹772.32. After ₹42.81 GST on the sale, a ₹480 product and ₹20 of packaging, with the GST on fees claimed back, a delivered order makes ₹253.19. With 10 returns in 100 orders at about ₹130 each, the average order makes ₹214.87, and the break-even price is ₹649.
Common mistakes
- Pricing just over ₹1,000. The same saree at ₹1,049 pays a 15% referral fee and a ₹79 closing fee, and makes about ₹140 less per order than at ₹999.
- Comparing channels on one fee. Self Ship has the highest closing fee but you pick the courier; FBA adds storage.
- Using the scale weight of a bulky parcel. Amazon charges on volumetric weight when it is higher.
- Writing off TCS and TDS. Both come back once you claim them.
When your own store makes sense
Amazon's fees fall as your price falls, so it suits low-priced products well. For repeat buyers and higher-priced ranges, a store of your own avoids the referral fee altogether: see our e-commerce development service. Selling on Meesho too? Run the product through the Meesho profit calculator.

FAQ
Questions
What referral fee does Amazon.in charge in 2026?
Since 16 March 2026, none on products priced up to ₹1,000 in more than 1,800 categories, including apparel, shoes, fashion jewellery, home décor, beauty, toys and kitchen. Above ₹1,000 the category rate applies: for example 15% for sarees and dress materials, 16.5% for ethnic wear and 22.5% for fashion jewellery.
What is the closing fee on Amazon.in?
A fee on every order, set by price band and how you ship. After the 7 September 2026 increase, Easy Ship pays ₹2 up to ₹300, ₹23 from ₹301 to ₹500, ₹48 from ₹501 to ₹1,000 and ₹79 above. Self Ship pays ₹20, ₹26, ₹51 and ₹101 for the same bands.
How is Amazon's weight handling fee worked out?
On the higher of actual and volumetric weight (length × breadth × height in cm ÷ 5,000), rounded up to the next 500 g. On Easy Ship it is ₹55 up to 500 g, ₹75 up to 1 kg and ₹112 up to 2 kg, then ₹34 for each extra kg up to 5 kg. Items priced up to ₹300 pay ₹10 less.
Which is cheaper: Easy Ship, Self Ship or FBA?
For an ₹899 item in a 500 g parcel, FBA charges a ₹30 closing fee plus ₹56 for weight handling and pick and pack, Easy Ship ₹48 plus ₹55, and Self Ship ₹51 plus whatever your courier charges. FBA also bills storage at ₹50 per cubic foot a month, so it suits products that sell quickly. Switch channels in the calculator to compare with your own numbers.
Does Amazon charge GST on its seller fees?
Yes, 18% on every fee, and Amazon's fee pages show fees before GST. A GST-registered seller claims it back as input credit, which the calculator assumes unless you untick the box. If your product's GST is lower than the GST on fees, some of that credit can sit unused in your ledger.
How much TCS and TDS does Amazon deduct on an ₹899 sale?
At 5% GST the sale value before GST is ₹856.19. Amazon deducts 0.5% TCS under GST (₹4.28) and 0.1% TDS on e-commerce sales (₹0.86). They aren't fees: you get TCS back through your GST returns and set TDS against your income tax.
