How the Amazon Australia FBA calculator works
Referral fees on Amazon.com.au run 6–15% by category (15% for most) with a minimum of A$0.30, charged on the total price including GST. FBA fulfilment is tiered by size and weight and is higher per unit than in the US because of distance and volume. If you are GST-registered, one-eleventh of the price goes to the ATO; if not, Amazon adds 10% GST to its fees. The calculator handles both and shows margin, ROI and break-even in AUD.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Amazon Australia take per sale?
Typically 15% referral plus A$3–A$10 fulfilment for standard-size items, plus monthly storage. Combined fees often reach 30–40% of the sale price.
Do I need an ABN and GST registration to sell on Amazon.com.au?
An ABN is required to open a professional account; GST registration is mandatory once turnover exceeds A$75,000, and overseas sellers importing into Australia are usually registered from the start.
Is Amazon Australia less competitive than the US?
Fewer sellers and lower volumes mean less competition per keyword, but also lower sales velocity. Higher fulfilment fees and inbound freight make margins thinner on low-priced items.
