Amazon FBA Calculator for Clothing
Clothing is Amazon's highest-friction FBA category: 17% referral, 20–30% return rates on fit-sensitive SKUs, and size-tier fulfillment that jumps with every ounce over 8 oz. A $34.99 dress with $9 COGS can show 40% gross margin on paper and net under 12% after returns, FBA pick-pack, and Q4 peak storage at $2.40/cu ft. Before you inbound your first apparel shipment, model per-unit P&L with 2026 fuel surcharges and your actual return rate — not fee tables from 2024.
