- Test more than one realistic scenario when comparing prices, costs or campaign settings.
- Save or record the result you need before closing or refreshing the page.
- Budget a mandatory 5% to 8% warranty reserve for Amazon Renewed products to cover mandatory 90-day replacement and customer refund guarantees.
- Ensure all accessories (chargers, cables) meet OEM equivalent testing criteria to avoid condition complaints and account suspensions.
Use the result as a planning estimate. Confirm current marketplace fee schedules, product dimensions, storage period and return assumptions before making a purchasing decision.
Worked example: Refurbished Margin Tool
Sample inputs:
- Renewed Resale Price ($): $189.00
- As-Is Liquidation Buy Cost ($): $75.00
- Testing & Parts Cost ($): $22.00
- Renewed 90-Day Warranty Reserve ($): $9.00
Calculation:
- Renewed resale price = $189.00, As-is buy cost = $75.00, Testing & parts cost = $22.00, Warranty reserve = $9.00
- Amazon referral fee (15%) = 15% × $189.00 = $28.35
- Amazon FBA fulfillment fee = $6.25
- Total Amazon platform fees = $28.35 + $6.25 = $34.60
- Total product & refurb outlay = $75.00 + $22.00 + $9.00 = $106.00
- Net profit = $189.00 - $106.00 - $34.60 = $48.40
- Net margin = ($48.40 ÷ $189.00) × 100 = 25.6%
- Return on investment (ROI) = $48.40 ÷ ($75.00 + $22.00) × 100 = $48.40 ÷ $97.00 × 100 = 49.9%
Result: Net Profit: $48.40, Net Margin: 25.6%, ROI: 49.9%, Amazon Fees: $34.60, Note: Includes $6.25 FBA fee, 15% referral fee, and repack materials in parts cost.
Refurbishing liquidation units yields a strong 25.6% net margin ($48.40/unit) and 49.9% ROI after deducting parts, testing, warranty reserves, and Amazon fees.
