= $14.47

Price below this and you lose money on every sale.

Key insight

Amazon's referral fee is unavoidable regardless of fulfillment. With FBA, the fulfillment fee and storage fee stack on top. The key lever: keep COGS low and price above breakeven. A 20%+ margin is typically considered healthy for Amazon sellers.
