Method and sources
Formula: revenue kept = buyer-paid total / (1 + consumption tax) when you charge the tax, otherwise the full total. Profit = revenue kept - referral fee - FBA fee for your size tier - storage - plan fee per unit - tax added on the referral and plan fees (if any) - your product, inbound and other costs.
Worked example from this tool: a ￥1,650 T-shirt (tax included) in Clothing and Fashion Accessories, FBA size tier 標準 35 x 30 x 3.3 cm, 1 kg or less. The referral fee is ￥139 (8.4% of the total price (band up to 2500)); the FBA fee is ￥318 because the price is over 1,000 yen; one month of storage at the clothing rate is ￥2; the Professional plan at 100 units a month adds ￥49 a unit. After ￥150 of consumption tax that you remit, fees come to ￥508 on ￥1,500 of revenue kept.
How the referral fee works: Amazon.co.jp charges a percentage of the total, defined as item price, delivery, gift wrapping and the tax the buyer pays, so the base includes consumption tax. Most categories start at 5% for totals of 750 yen or less and then rise: Electronics pay 8.4% above 750 yen, so a 750 yen sale costs ￥38 and a 751 yen sale costs ￥63, with a 30 yen minimum. Clothing, Eyewear, Shoes, Bags and Jewelry use whole-price bands and then split the total: Shoes at 12.4% up to 7,500 yen and 6.4% above, so an 8,000 yen pair pays ￥962; Jewelry at 10.4% up to 10,000 yen and 6.4% above, so a 12,000 yen piece pays ￥1,168. Media (Books, DVD, Music, PC Software, Video) and Video Games pay a flat 15.4% with no minimum.
FBA fee: the page lists one fee per size tier for items over 1,000 yen and a lower one for 1,000 yen or less (for the 標準 tier above, ￥318 against ￥252). The fees include 10% consumption tax. The tool asks you to pick the tier from the page's own labels instead of working it out from dimensions, because the page defines dimension as the sum of length, width and height of the packed item and its own worked examples do not reconcile with its table (the page lists a television in the fourth 特大型 tier at 6,250 yen where its table shows 5,625 yen for that tier). Where they differ the tool follows the table.
Storage and plan: storage is billed on average daily volume in units of 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm: 5.676 yen per month January to September and 10.087 yen October to December for small and standard sizes, 3.278 and 6.984 yen for large and oversize, and 3.10 and 5.50 yen for clothing, shoes and bags in every size. The Individual plan is 100 yen per item and the Professional plan 4,900 yen a month, both excluding tax. Long-term storage after 365 days is not modelled.

FAQ
Is the Amazon Japan referral fee charged on a price that includes consumption tax?
Yes, by the page's own footnote: the rate applies to the total the buyer pays for the item, including delivery, gift wrapping and the applicable tax. The page also says only the referral fee is shown without tax and all other fees include tax. That is why the tool strips tax from your revenue but keeps it in the referral base.
Why does the fee jump at 750 yen?
Many categories use a 5% rate for a total of 750 yen or less and a higher rate above it, applied to the whole price rather than just the part over 750 yen. A 751 yen Electronics sale therefore pays 8.4% of 751 yen, not 5% of 750 plus 8.4% of 1 yen.
What is the minimum referral fee on Amazon.co.jp?
Most categories have a 30 yen minimum per item, and Amazon charges the higher of the percentage fee and the minimum. Media and Video Games show no minimum.
How do I choose the FBA size tier?
Use the packed size and weight and match the page's labels: 小型 up to 25 x 18 x 2.0 cm and 250 g, 標準 in eight steps up to 100 cm and 9 kg, 大型 in eight steps up to 200 cm and 40 kg, and 特大型 up to 260 cm and 50 kg. The page defines the dimension as the sum of length, width and height of the packed item.
Does the tool cover Qualified Invoice or consumption tax credits?
No. It only lets you add a tax percentage on the referral and plan fees, which the page quotes without tax. Whether you can credit that tax depends on your registration and is not tax advice.
