2026 Updates to US Referral and Fulfillment by Amazon Fees

In 2026, FBA fees will increase by an average of $0.08 per unit sold, or less than 0.5% of an average item’s selling price. This is on top of no increase in US Referral and FBA fees in 2025. We have been working hard to drive innovation and efficiencies that keep costs down, which helps keep fee increases low for you. Our fee changes are significantly less than inflation and less than the 3.9%-5.9% annual cost increases from other major US carriers during the last two years.
We continue to better align our fee structure and rates to our underlying costs. We’ve created more granularity in our fee structure so we can offer lower fees where our costs are lower, and higher fees where we provide enhanced services or additional value that come at a higher cost. This includes investing in improved forecasting, inventory placement, and automation that drives faster delivery promises and higher sales for billions of products fulfilled through FBA. We’ll also add new returns features, reduce defects that cause missing and damaged inventory, and provide faster removals processing. You also gain the opportunity to achieve lower fee options where it makes sense for your business, including by updating your product packaging, selecting lower cost inbound shipment options, and maintaining healthy inventory levels.
We continue to focus on providing you with stability by minimizing your operational burden and costs. There will be no new FBA fee types in 2026, and we’re providing earlier notice and improved tools to make it easier for you to optimize your sales and profitability. To understand how these changes will impact your business, you can use the Revenue Calculator and Fee and Economics Preview report which are being updated with the 2026 rates. You can also use the new Profit Analytics dashboard to get a detailed view of your unit economics, including the ability to see how fee changes impact each of your products. You have at least 90 days before any fee increases take effect.
