This is why we have created “True Profit” calculator in collaboration with UK based Amazon Training Specialist  www.onlineselleruk.com  You can download the file and alter details as necessary. You will also find some helpful links.

Column (H) Amazon Fees: Amazon takes 15% fees on Average and this can vary depending on category you are selling. If you are selling consumer electronics fees are 7% and if you are selling Jewellery fees are 26%. Variance on fees is correlated with margin expected from each category sales.
