Amazon Referral Fee Category Lookup
Look up Amazon's referral fee percentage for common product categories.
What is the Amazon Referral Fee Category Lookup?
Amazon charges a referral fee — a percentage of each sale — that varies by product category, from as low as 8% to as high as 45%. This tool is a quick reference for commonly cited categories and their typical rates, including the tiered structures used for a few categories where the percentage changes above a price threshold.
Rates worth knowing
- Most categories (Home & Kitchen, Toys & Games, Sports & Outdoors, Beauty, Grocery, Pet Supplies, and many others) sit at the common default of 15%.
- Consumer Electronics, Computers, Major Appliances and Video Game Consoles are lower, at 8%.
- Amazon Device Accessories sits at the high end, 45%.
- Clothing & Accessories uses a tiered rate: 5% up to $15, 10% from $15.01–$20, and 17% above $20.
- Fine Jewelry is also tiered: 20% up to $250, then 5% on the portion above $250.
An honest accuracy note
Amazon's official category list runs to dozens of entries with occasional sub-category exceptions, and this reference covers the commonly cited ones rather than the complete official schedule. Fee percentages have stayed frozen at these levels for the past couple of years, but Amazon can and does change them, so treat this as a quick-reference starting point and confirm your specific category's current rate in Seller Central before finalizing a price.
