Step 1: Enter Product Costs
- Product Cost: Cost to manufacture or purchase
- Shipping Cost: Cost to ship to Amazon
- Other Costs: Packaging, labeling, etc.
Step 2: Select Marketplace & Category
Choose marketplace and category. This determines referral fees and other Amazon charges that affect pricing.
Step 3: Enter Product Specifications

Step 4: Set Target Profit Margin
Enter your desired profit margin (typically 20-30%). The calculator will show the price needed to achieve this margin.
