Bundle Profitability Calculator
The "Power of Bundling": Sell 2 items, pay only 1 FBA fee (mostly). Calculate the extra profit.
How This Tool Works
This calculator analyzes the Profit Advantage of Bundling. By combining multiple products into a single SKU, you can dramatically increase your margins by reducing the "per unit" fulfillment cost.
- Fee Consolidation: Instead of paying two Pick & Pack fees, you pay one slightly larger fee.
- increased AOV: Higher Average Order Value means your fixed customer acquisition costs are spread across more revenue.
- Packaging Cost: Accounts for the cost of polybags or custom boxes needed to hold the bundle together.
How to Use (Steps)
- Item Costs: Enter the landed cost of each individual item in the bundle.
- Packaging: Include any extra costs for polybags, stickers, or "Sold as Set" labels.
- Bundle Price: Set your target price (usually slightly cheaper than buying items separately).
- Fees: Enter the projected FBA fee for the combined size and weight of the bundle.
Example Calculation
Scenario: Bundling Soap ($5) and a Sponge ($2).
• Separate Fees: $4.50 + $3.80 = $8.30.
• Bundle FBA Fee: $5.50.
• Fee Savings: $2.80.
• Profit Lift: You make nearly 40% more
profit by selling them together.
Why This Tool Is Accurate
This tool specifically focuses on the "Comparison" aspect. By showing exactly how much you save in FBA fees, it helps you decide if a bundle is worth the extra prep work and packaging expense.
Limitations & Disclaimer
Returns on bundles are handled as a single unit; you cannot return half a bundle. Disclaimer: Amazon has strict bundling policies regarding brand names and categories; always check the latest FBA Bundling Guidelines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. A bundle is considered a unique product. You must obtain a new GS1 UPC code for the bundle, even if the individual items already have their own codes.
Items must be sold together in a single opaque polybag or box. You must apply a single FNSKU label to the outside of the bundle packaging.
The best bundles are 'complimentary' items—products that are naturally used together (e.g., a yoga mat and a yoga block) or 'multipacks' of high-consumption goods.
