About MarginSolver
MarginSolver is an independent, free financial utility dedicated to providing Amazon third-party sellers, Shopify DTC merchants, and e-commerce analysts with transparent, zero-friction margin intelligence.
Our mission
Between 2024 and 2026–2027, major e-commerce platforms altered their fee architecture. Amazon introduced Inbound Placement Service Fees, Low-Inventory-Level surcharges, updated dimensional weight rounding rules, and tiered referral thresholds. While large SaaS enterprise suites locked these fundamental calculations behind $100+/month subscriptions and mandatory email capture walls, MarginSolver was built to provide instant, client-side, 100% free mathematical models accessible to every entrepreneur.
How we verify fee schedules
Our calculation models are audited continuously against official carrier documentation and seller announcements:
- Official Amazon Seller Central announcements: We track fee schedule notices, program policy changes, and category referral updates published by Amazon Services.
- Volumetric & carrier divisor standards: We reflect standard domestic dimensional weight divisor rules (Divisor 139) and size tier thresholds across small standard, large standard, and bulky classifications.
- Low-Price FBA thresholds: We automatically track and apply the $0.77 unit fulfillment fee discount for items priced below $10.00.
Editorial independence & monetization
MarginSolver is completely free to use. We do not sell your email, require account registrations, or gate calculations behind paywalls. To sustain our server infrastructure and ongoing fee research, our platform is funded by clean, privacy-compliant display advertising and optional software referral partnerships.
