How to use this tool

  1. Enter total investment (product, shipping, prep, initial PPC).
  2. Add expected revenue and units sold.
  3. Calculate ROI, margin, and payback period.
  4. Compare against your minimum acceptable ROI before ordering stock.

Formula

ROI (%) = ((Total Profit − Total Investment) ÷ Total Investment) × 100

Example

Invest $3,000, profit $1,200 after all fees → ROI = 40% (strong for many FBA niches).

Common mistakes

  • ROI based on revenue only, not net profit
  • Excluding slow-moving inventory risk
  • Comparing ROI without checking keyword competition

Estimates use Amazon's published fee structure. See our fee accuracy report for verification details and limitations.
