How much does Amazon Handmade take from a $100 sale?

$15.00, leaving you $85.00. The referral fee is the only per-sale charge on the schedule verified here, so 15% is also the effective rate on anything priced above the per-item minimum.

What is the $1.00 minimum referral fee?

Amazon charges the percentage or the per-item minimum, whichever is greater. Fifteen per cent only reaches a dollar at about $6.67, so a $5.00 item is charged $1.00 rather than a share of its price, an effective 20%. A $7.00 item is just above the crossover and pays $1.05.

Do Handmade categories pay different rates?

No. All ten Handmade categories — Accessories, Apparel, Baby, Beauty and Personal Care, Home, Jewelry, Pet Supplies, Shoes, Sports, and Toys and Games — carry the same 15% with the same per-item minimum. That is unusual on Amazon, where the wider referral-fee schedule prices categories separately.

Does Amazon Handmade charge a monthly selling fee?

Amazon states that the Professional selling plan's monthly charge is waived for approved Handmade sellers, so on the schedule verified here the referral fee is the whole of what a seller pays per sale. If you let Amazon fulfil the order, FBA fees are charged separately and are not part of these figures.

What do I have to charge to keep $100?

$117.65, of which $17.65 is the referral fee. Adding 15% to your target lands short, because the fee is charged on the higher price as well.

Why is this schedule marked medium confidence?

Because Amazon's own pages disagree about the per-item minimum: its Seller Central policy article for Handmade states $1.00 for every category, while its Handmade programme page states a lower figure for the same fee. The calculator follows the policy article. Above about $6.67 the disagreement changes nothing, because the percentage is what you pay.

Amazon Handmade fees by country

Every rule on Amazon Handmade’s official schedule for United States, the market this calculator covers, as of 4 September 2026. The referral fee is the percentage or the per-item minimum, whichever is greater, so an item priced up to about $6.67 pays the $1.00 floor instead of 15%. Amazon's Handmade programme page states a lower minimum than the Seller Central policy article this calculator follows, which is why the platform's confidence is medium. Fulfilment by Amazon, advertising and storage are charged separately and are not included.

Sources and last verified

Every rate above is quoted from Amazon Handmade’s official fee page and checked by a person on 4 September 2026. Primary source (Seller Central 'Amazon Handmade: Referral fees' policy article, help id 201814220) states a $1.00 per-item minimum referral fee at 15% for every listed Handmade category. The sell.amazon.com/programs/handmade marketing FAQ (secondary) states the same 15% but a $0.30 minimum for the identical fee. The general Amazon referral-fee schedule (second secondary, G200336920) does not list a Handmade category at all, so it neither confirms nor contradicts. Used the dedicated policy article's $1.00 minimum as authoritative; confidence held at medium for the unresolved $0.30-vs-$1.00 minimum discrepancy between Amazon's own pages. at sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/external/G200336920?locale=en-US. Single source: not every rate is restated by a second official page, so some rest on the official page alone.
