Amazon’s 2026 FBA Fee Changes: What You Need to Know

Amazon just dropped their 2026 FBA fee changes. Here’s what you need to know.

Starting January 15, 2026, fulfillment fees are going up. Average increase: $0.08 per unit. Sounds small? It’s less than 0.5% of an average item’s selling price. But here’s the catch—April 17 brings a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge on top of that.

What’s Actually Changing

• Standard-size products ($10-$50): +$0.08/unit average
• Products under $10: +$0.05/unit average (but you get a bigger discount vs. higher-priced items)
• Products over $50: +$0.31/unit average (Amazon’s investing in better returns, faster processing)
• Bulky items: Mixed bag. Small Bulky down $2.06/unit, but non-SIPP bulky items now face a $2.07 packaging fee
• Aged inventory: Stricter penalties for slow-moving stock

The real story? Amazon’s restructuring fees to match actual costs. More granular pricing means some sellers win, others lose. Your move depends on your product mix.

What to Do Now

• Run your products through the Revenue Calculator (updated with 2026 rates)
• Check the Profit Analytics dashboard to see unit economics
• Review your inventory—aged stock is getting expensive
• Consider SIPP certification if you’re selling bulky items
• Optimize packaging and inbound shipment options
