FBA Fees by Category
Every Amazon FBA category, every fee, in one place.
Referral fees, fulfillment tiers, storage rates, and category-specific gotchas for 20 Amazon FBA categories. Updated for 2026. Built by an 8-figure FBA seller.
Standard FBA storage fee schedule
Apparel & Accessories
Referral fee 17% (higher than most categories). Apparel storage uses a separate fee schedule and FBA returns processing fees apply.
Automotive and Powersports
Referral fee 12% — below the 15% default — with a $0.30 minimum, plus weight-driven fulfillment and frequent oversize/hazmat surcharges.
Baby Products
Referral fee 8% on items above $10, 15% below. Strict safety compliance requirements.
Beauty & Personal Care
Referral fee 8% on items above $10, 15% below — sub-$10 beauty items have a lower break-even threshold.
Books
Books use a fixed referral fee structure (15% + variable closing fee). FBA fulfillment for books has its own dedicated tier.
Cell Phone Devices
Referral fee 8% on unlocked phones and devices — one of Amazon's lowest rates — with a $0.30 minimum and low, weight-light fulfillment fees.
Electronics
Referral fee 8% on items above $100, fulfillment fees vary by weight tier. Most electronics fall in standard or large standard size.
Furniture
Tiered referral fee: 15% on the portion up to $200 and 10% on the portion above, with a $0.30 minimum — and almost everything ships in expensive oversized tiers.
Grocery & Gourmet Food
Referral fee 8% on items above $15, 15% below. Expiration date tracking and short shelf life add operational complexity.
Health & Household
Referral fee 8% on items above $10, 15% below — same dual-tier structure as beauty.
Home & Kitchen
Referral fee 15% across most home & kitchen products, fulfillment fees scale with size — oversized items pay substantially more.
Industrial and Scientific
Referral fee 12% — below the 15% default — with a $0.30 minimum, covering B2B, lab, MRO, and janitorial supplies.
Jewelry
Tiered referral fee: 20% on the portion up to $250 and just 5% above, with a $5 minimum referral fee that makes cheap pieces uneconomic.
Office Products
Referral fee 15%. Office supplies are largely standard-size and predictable on fees.
Pet Supplies
Referral fee 15%. Toys, leashes, and grooming hit standard fees; pet beds and large food bags push into oversized.
Shoes, Handbags, and Sunglasses
Referral fee 15%, but handbags and sunglasses priced $75+ jump to 18%; $0.30 minimum, with footwear charged on a separate apparel storage schedule.
Sports & Outdoors
Referral fee 15%. Wide range of fulfillment tiers — from compression sleeves to kayaks.
Tools and Home Improvement
Referral fee 15% with a $0.30 minimum; fulfillment is dominated by weight, with heavy power tools and hardware tipping into oversized tiers.
Toys & Games
Referral fee 15%. Q4 storage surcharges hit Toys & Games harder than any other category — plan inventory carefully.
Watches
Tiered referral fee: 16% on the portion up to $1,500 and just 3% above, with a $2 minimum — luxury watches see a very low effective rate.
