How This Works

Referral fees are the primary selling commission Amazon charges on every sale. The rate depends on which product category your item is listed in. Most categories charge 15%, but rates range from 5% to 45%.

Tiered categories use different rates depending on the item price or price portion. For example, Jewelry charges 20% on the first $250 and only 5% on any amount above $250. This means a $500 ring pays $62.50 in referral fees (an effective rate of 12.5%) rather than a flat 20%.

The $0.30 minimum applies to all categories. If your calculated referral fee is below $0.30, Amazon charges $0.30 instead. This mainly matters for items priced under $2-$4.

Category assignment is determined by the browse node you list your product under. If your product fits multiple categories, choose the one with the lowest referral fee rate, as long as it accurately represents your product.

Frequently Asked Questions

The referral fee is a percentage of the total selling price (including the item price and any shipping or gift-wrap charges) that Amazon charges on every sale. It varies by product category and typically ranges from 5% to 20%, with most categories at 15%. Amazon also enforces a minimum referral fee of $0.30 per item.
Several categories use tiered or conditional rates. For example, Baby Products charges 8% on items priced at $10.00 or less and 15% on items over $10.00. Categories like Jewelry and Watches use a split structure where a higher rate applies to the first portion of the price and a lower rate applies to the remainder. This rewards higher-priced items with a lower effective fee percentage.
Amazon applies a minimum referral fee of $0.30 per item across all categories. If the percentage-based referral fee calculates to less than $0.30, Amazon charges the $0.30 minimum instead. This mainly affects very low-priced items.
No. In addition to the referral fee, Amazon charges FBA fulfillment fees (for picking, packing, and shipping), monthly storage fees, inbound placement fees, and potentially low-inventory-level fees and return processing fees. Media products also incur a variable closing fee. Use our Amazon Fee Calculator for a complete breakdown of all fees.
You cannot negotiate referral fee rates — they are set by Amazon per category. However, you can minimize the impact by choosing categories with lower rates when your product qualifies, pricing above tiered thresholds to get the lower rate on the excess, and focusing on higher-priced items where the effective fee percentage is lower due to minimum fee floors.
