Amazon.nl verkoopkosten, referral 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 Keuken, 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 € 4,50 plus a € 0,07 surcharge; one month of storage € 0,17; the Professional plan at 100 units a month adds € 0,39 a unit. After € 5,21 of VAT that you remit, fees come to € 9,63 on € 24,79 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 the Netherlands 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 € 3,72 if the ex-tax price were used, a gap of € 0,78 on every sale. The Dutch page says the commission is a percentage of the full selling price including any shipping costs and does not name btw, 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. The Dutch table differs from the other four: it lists Bicycles at 10%, splits Automotive into electronic devices (7%), electronic accessories (12%) and the rest, gives Eyewear and Eyewear Protection their own Prime-assortment clause (8% up to 15 EUR, then 15%, with 15% on the first 45 EUR and 7% above for Prime items over 45 EUR), and has no Handmade line. 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 NL. 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 the Netherlands the lookup uses the NL column. 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 € 2,11 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, Netherlands: 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

Worden de Amazon.nl verkoopkosten berekend over de prijs inclusief btw?

The Dutch page says the commission is calculated as a percentage of the full selling price, including any shipping costs. Dutch consumer prices include 21% btw, so this tool defaults to the gross price. The page does not name btw in that sentence; the ex-btw switch shows the gap and a settlement report settles it.

How is the Dutch category table different?

It is the only euro store in this set with a Bicycles line at 10%, three Automotive lines (7% electronic devices, 12% electronic accessories, and 15% up to 50 EUR then 9% for everything else), a Prime-assortment clause on Eyewear and Eyewear Protection, and no Handmade category. The tool lists the Dutch names with English glosses.

What is the minimum referral fee on Amazon.nl?

Most categories have a 0.30 EUR minimum per item and Amazon charges the higher of the percentage and the minimum. Books, Music, Video and DVD, Software, Video Games, consoles and Grocery and Gourmet show "n.v.t." (not applicable).

Does the Netherlands have its own FBA column?

Yes. The Europe rate card has an NL column. For the example item (30 x 20 x 10 cm, 500 g) the looked-up fee is € 4,50 before the 1.5% fuel and logistics surcharge.

Can I use the low-price FBA rates?

Tick the low-price box for envelopes and small parcels priced up to about 20 EUR incl. btw. The rate card lists lower caps for some categories, such as Beauty, Kitchen and Books, so check page 5 of the card for yours.
