Throw Pillow Amazon Profit Calculator

Amazon charges a flat 15% referral fee on the Throw Pillow — it sits outside the tiered Clothing & Accessories category — applied to item price plus shipping, with a $0.30 minimum. Right now Printful fulfills the Throw Pillow for $13.57 + $4.99 shipping, and Printify from $35.39 + $17.69; most sellers list it between $24.99 and $34.99.

At a $29.99 price with free shipping and Printful fulfillment, that's $4.50 in Amazon fees, leaving $6.93 profit per sale — a 23.1% margin, or roughly 145 sales to clear $1,000 in profit. For the Throw Pillow, Printful is the more profitable fulfiller on Amazon — about $34.52 more per sale at $29.99 (all-in cost $18.56 on Printful vs $53.08 on Printify). Breakeven — the price where profit hits $0 — is $21.84 on Printful; sell below that and you're paying to make the sale.

Amazon's 15% referral has a $0.30 floor, so very low-priced items lose a disproportionate share — keep that in mind if you sell the Throw Pillow cheaply.
