How the Amazon Japan FBA calculator works
Referral fees on Amazon.co.jp are 8–15% by category, charged on the price including 10% consumption tax. FBA fees are tiered by size (small, standard, large) and weight, and Amazon adds consumption tax to its fees for sellers without a Japanese tax registration. Yen has no decimals, so the calculator rounds display values; enter your landed cost in yen after import duty for a true margin.
