Amazon FBA Calculator for Beauty Products
Beauty products enjoy an 8% Amazon referral rate — matching electronics — but hazmat restrictions, expiration dating, and 8–12% return rates on skincare create costs that generic calculators ignore. Serums and cosmetics in glass packaging hit higher FBA tiers by weight, and meltable inventory surcharges apply May–September in southern fulfillment centers. A $28 face serum with $6 COGS looks strong at 8% referral until FBA, fuel surcharge, and return processing compress margin below 15%. Model your exact SKU with 2026 rates before launching a beauty line on FBA.
