Why this matters

Two small rate changes, very different earnings

The same 200 sales/month at a $60 average price earns $540/month at 4.5% — but only $360/month at 3%. That's $2,160 a year lost to a category you never rechecked. The calculator above shows you the gap in your own numbers. Then run the full audit on your real report to find the differences that are actually costing you.

How to use it

Three steps to see your real commission gap

1

Pick your market

US, UK or Canada. Rates differ by marketplace, so start with the one your account is registered in.

2

Choose a category and price

Select the product category your sales mostly fall into, then enter the average sale price and monthly order volume.

3

Read the gap

The result panel shows your commission at the current 2026 rate versus the pre-cut rate, plus the monthly and annual loss. That number is what the rate changes are costing you in this category alone.

Worked example

What a real category looks like

Say you sell PC components — an average order of $250, with 40 orders a month. The current rate for PC & PC Components is 2.5%; before the cuts it sat at 4.5%.

At 4.5% you'd earn $450/month. At the current 2.5% you earn $250/month. That's a $200 monthly gap$2,400 a year in this one category. Every category in the current rate table has the same kind of gap once you do the math.

💡The calculator is an estimate. To find the differences that already happened in your account, run the earnings audit on your actual CSV — it flags line items where your reported commission doesn't match the rate on that order's date.
FAQ

Commission calculator questions

What are the current Amazon Associates commission rates?

The 2026 rates vary by category, from 20% on Amazon Games down to 1% on Electronics, Fresh & Grocery, and several others. You can see every category side by side with the pre-cut rate in the current rate table.

Is this calculator accurate?

It uses the published/advisory category rates we keep in our rate table, so it's a reliable estimate for a given category and sales volume. Real payouts also depend on factors like order volume tiers, shipping-only or digital-only orders, and returns — which is why we built the full audit for your actual report.

Which Amazon categories were cut most in 2026?

Categories like Furniture & Home Improvement, Home & Lawn & Garden, and Pet Products dropped from 8% to 3%, while PC & PC Components went from 4.5% to 2.5% and Electronics from 2.5% to 1%. See the full list in our guide to the 2026 cuts.

How do I calculate my Amazon affiliate commission myself?

Multiply your price by your sales volume, then by the category rate. Example: 100 sales × $80 × 4% = $320/month. This page does that for you and also shows what the same sales earned at the old rate.

Why does my earnings report not match the calculator?

Because reports show actual settled orders — with returns, shipping-only items, and rate changes that applied on the order date — not a straight rate × volume estimate. Run the earnings audit to reconcile your report line by line.
