MarginStack

For Amazon FBA Sellers Who Import Products

See your true cost
from factory to customer.
Finally.

Most Amazon sellers overestimate their margins by 30-50%. MarginStack reveals every hidden cost between your supplier's invoice and your actual profit, including duties, freight, and Amazon's cut.

Calculate Your True MarginFree. No signup required.

The margin you calculate is not the margin you keep.

Most sellers calculate margin as: Selling Price minus Product Cost minus Amazon Referral Fee. That misses freight, customs duties, brokerage fees, FBA fulfillment, and storage costs. The result? For a 500ml stainless steel vacuum insulated flask from China, you think you're making 56%. You're actually making 33% (rates as of 24 July 2026).

What MarginStack includes that other calculators don't

Amazon's own calculator and the popular seller tools stop at Amazon fees. None of them account for import duties, freight, or customs costs.
