Understanding Amazon Seller Charges in India (FY 2026 Breakdown)

When you sell on Amazon India, your listed selling price undergoes multiple layers of statutory and platform deductions before reaching your bank account. Many sellers mistakenly assume Amazon only takes an 8% to 15% referral fee, only to discover negative settlement cycles due to uncalculated fixed closing fees, weight handling, and 18% GST.

1. Referral Fee Commission

A percentage fee charged on every sold item, varying directly by category. For instance, Consumer Electronics charges 9% to 11%, while Fashion charges 13.5% up to ₹500 and 16.5% above ₹500.

2. Fixed Closing Fee

A mandatory per-unit fee based on product price brackets: ₹0–₹250 (₹5), ₹251–₹500 (₹11), ₹501–₹1000 (₹25), and ₹1001+ (₹60). Pricing ₹1 above a threshold triggers an immediate fee hike.

3. Shipping & Weight Handling

Calculated based on whether your shipment is Local (same city), Regional (same state), or National (inter-state), charged per 500g physical or volumetric slab.

4. 18% GST Friction & ITC

Amazon is legally required to levy 18% GST on all its services (referral, closing, shipping). Sellers with active GSTIN can recover this entire amount as Input Tax Credit (ITC) on GSTR-2B.

₹1,001+ ₹60.00 ₹62.00 ₹65.00 High-ticket items absorb fixed fee comfortably

Frequently Asked Questions: Amazon Seller Charges India

How are Amazon seller charges and commission fees calculated in India?

Amazon seller charges in India consist of four core components: (1) Category Referral Commission (ranging from roughly 2% to 22% of selling price depending on category, sub-category, and specific fee caps), (2) Fixed Closing Fee based on tiered order price bands (typically ₹5 to ₹62 depending on fulfillment channel and price bracket), (3) Shipping & Weight Handling Fee based on fulfillment channel (FBA, Easy Ship, or Self Ship) and distance zone, and (4) 18% GST applied to all Amazon fee services. Total Amazon Charges = Referral Fee + Closing Fee + Shipping Fee + 18% GST.

What is the Amazon Closing Fee and how do the price slabs work in 2026?

Amazon charges a fixed closing fee per unit sold based on discrete price brackets (sub-₹250/₹500, ₹501–₹1000, and ₹1001+ slabs, ranging from ₹5 to ₹62 across FBA and Easy Ship channels). Exact tier cutoffs can vary by active rate circulars. Pricing an item just across a bracket threshold (like ₹501 instead of ₹499) triggers an immediate closing fee jump, impacting your net take-home margin on low-ticket items.

How does the Amazon FBA fee calculator work compared to Easy Ship?

FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) charges include Pick & Pack fees plus Weight Handling starting at ₹54 for regional delivery under 500g, while Easy Ship starts at ₹44 for local delivery. While Easy Ship has lower courier base costs for slow-moving products, FBA grants automatic Prime badge eligibility, superior conversion rates, and higher Buy Box share.

Is there any Amazon seller registration fee in India?

No. Amazon seller registration is 100% free in India. There are no upfront account creation charges, monthly subscription fees, or security deposits for standard seller accounts. Amazon only deducts referral commission, closing fees, and shipping fees when an actual customer order is completed.

What is the difference between an Amazon revenue calculator and net profit calculator?

An Amazon revenue calculator only estimates top-line sales income minus referral fees. SellerLeak’s True Net Profit Calculator computes real bottom-line bank settlement by accounting for cost of goods (COGS), closing slabs, dimensional weight freight, 18% GST on services, and customer return (RTO) freight reserve.

How do product HSN codes and GST rates impact Amazon seller fees?

Every e-commerce product has an assigned HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code determining customer GST (typically 5%, 12%, or 18%). Regardless of your product HSN tax rate, Amazon legally levies 18% GST on all its seller commission and fulfillment fees. Sellers with a registered GSTIN can claim this 18% back in full as Input Tax Credit (ITC) via GSTR-2B.

What are the new Amazon commission charges in 2026?

In 2026, Amazon India revised its category rate cards with reduced commission on budget fashion and grocery items under ₹500, adjusted closing fee slabs, and introduced inbound placement surcharges for sellers shipping inventory to a single national fulfillment center.

What is the Inbound Placement Fee introduced by Amazon?

Inbound Placement Fees apply when sellers ship inventory to a single fulfillment center instead of splitting consignments across multiple regional fulfillment centers. Amazon charges ₹6 to ₹18 per unit unless the seller opts for distributed inventory placement across multiple zones.

Can Amazon sellers claim 18% GST back as Input Tax Credit (ITC)?

Yes. Amazon issues a monthly tax invoice with their GSTIN and your GSTIN. The 18% GST paid on referral, closing, and shipping fees reflects in your GSTR-2B and can be fully claimed as Input Tax Credit (ITC) against your output GST liability on sales.
