---How to Calculate Your Amazon Break-Even Price
The break-even price represents the minimum amount a seller must charge to offset product production costs, inbound shipping, pay-per-click advertising, and Amazon referral commissions.
Break-Even Formula
Break-Even Price = Total Direct Costs ÷ (1 - Amazon Referral Fee %)
Where Total Direct Costs equals COGS + Inbound Freight + FBA Fulfillment Fee + Ad Spend per Unit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why is my break-even price higher than my direct costs?
Amazon charges a percentage-based referral fee on the final total retail selling price. Because the referral fee increases as the sale price increases, the break-even price must account for the referral fee applied to the higher retail rate.
