Amazon.fr frais de vente, commission and FBA in one.

Method and sources

Formula: revenue kept = buyer-paid total / (1 + VAT rate) when you are VAT-registered, otherwise the full total. Profit = revenue kept - referral fee - FBA fulfilment fee - 1.5% fuel and logistics surcharge - storage - plan fee per unit - tax added on Amazon fees (if any) - your product, inbound and other costs.

Worked example from this tool: a 30 EUR item (VAT included) in Cuisine, packed 30 x 20 x 10 cm and 500 g, sold by FBA. Referral fee 4,50 € (15% of the total price); FBA size tier Small parcel (up to 35 x 25 x 12 cm) at 5,87 € plus a 0,09 € surcharge; one month of storage 0,17 €; the Professional plan at 100 units a month adds 0,39 € a unit. After 5,00 € of VAT that you remit, fees come to 11,02 € on 25,00 € of revenue kept.

Referral fee basis: Amazon defines the total price as the amount the buyer pays for the item, delivery and gift wrap. Consumer prices in France include VAT, so the default base is the tax-inclusive price. On that 30 EUR Kitchen example the fee is 4,50 € on the gross price against 3,75 € if the ex-tax price were used, a gap of 0,75 € on every sale. The French page defines the total price as what the buyer pays for the item, delivery and gift wrap and does not name TVA, so confirm against a settlement report.

Rates in the tool: the Individual plan is 0.99 EUR per item and the Professional plan 39 EUR a month, both excluding VAT. Most categories have a 0.30 EUR minimum referral fee; Books, Music, Software, Video Games, consoles and Grocery and Gourmet list none. France has no Bicycles line and no separate eyewear clause; Eyewear is a flat 15%. Tiered categories are modelled as Amazon words them: Furniture is 15% up to 200, then 10% on the rest (35,00 € on a 250 EUR sale); Jewellery and Watches use 20% or 15% on the first 250 EUR and 5% above.

FBA lookup: fulfilment fees come from the Europe FBA rate card effective 1 July 2026, column FR. The tool sorts your packed dimensions and weight into the card's size tiers (envelopes up to 33 x 23 x 6 cm, small parcel up to 35 x 25 x 12 cm, standard parcel up to 45 x 34 x 26 cm, then the oversize tiers), uses the higher of unit and dimensional weight for parcels and oversize items, and counts each started kilogram above the base weight on oversize tiers, because the card does not state a rounding rule. Selected categories (clothing, footwear, backpacks and handbags, mattresses and others the card lists) use the card's separate parcel table with a base fee for the first 100 g and a step per extra 100 g. For France the lookup uses the FR column. The rate card lists no separate holiday-peak column for France, so no peak switch is offered. Low-price FBA rates are available as a checkbox: a 12 EUR item of 90 g packed 22 x 15 x 1.5 cm costs 2,81 € to fulfil under them. Special oversize items (over 31.5 kg or beyond the 126 kg dimensional weight) are not modelled; the tool says so instead of guessing. What it does not model: low-inventory-level fees, returns processing fees, inbound placement or removal fees.

Reference FBA fees, France: five packed sizes through the lookup, before the 1.5% surcharge and before any holiday peak, set against the cheapest of the five euro stores in the same rate card.

Storage: monthly storage is charged per cubic metre on daily average volume: 27.54 EUR January to September and 52.20 EUR October to December for standard-size products, 19.99 and 29.23 EUR for clothing, eyewear, shoes and backpacks and handbags, and 21.78 and 34.49 EUR for oversize. The tool multiplies your packed volume by the rate and the months held, which suits steady stock; aged-inventory and storage-utilisation surcharges are not included.

FAQ

Les frais de vente Amazon.fr sont-ils calculés TVA comprise ?

The Amazon.fr table says the percentage applies to the total price, meaning the amount the buyer pays including item price, delivery and gift wrap. French consumer prices include 20% TVA, so the default base here is the TVA-inclusive total. The page never writes the word TVA in that sentence, so treat it as a reading of the definition and check a settlement report.

What is the minimum referral fee on Amazon.fr?

Most categories carry a 0.30 EUR minimum, shown as "frais de gestion minimum" on the page. Books, Music, Video and DVD, Software, Video Games, consoles and Grocery (Épicerie fine) list none.

What is the clothing rule for Prime items above 45 EUR?

Clothing and accessories pay 5% up to 15 EUR, 10% between 15 and 20 EUR and 15% above 20 EUR. For FBA and Seller Fulfilled Prime items with a total above 45 EUR the page switches to 15% on the first 45 EUR and 7% on the rest. The tool applies that clause when you choose FBA or Seller Fulfilled Prime.

Does France have a holiday-peak FBA surcharge?

The rate card's holiday-peak table lists the UK, Central Europe and Germany-only columns. It lists no separate peak column for France, so the tool uses one FR column all year.

Is the 1.5% fuel surcharge included in the rate card?

No. The rate card states that from 17 April 2026 a 1.5% fuel and logistics surcharge is added to FBA fulfilment fees in France and other European stores. The box is ticked by default and adds it to the looked-up fee.
