Amazon Seller Tax Calculator

Estimate your Amazon seller taxes with our free calculator.

Calculate self-employment, Social Security, and Medicare taxes for FBA and independent sellers.

Amazon sellers and FBA merchants are typically treated as self-employed business owners from a tax perspective. This means that their taxes aren't automatically withheld from sales on the platform. Instead, they're obligated to address these responsibilities themselves, which includes paying the 15.3% self-employment tax that funds Social Security and Medicare, in addition to federal and state income taxes. Part-time resellers, private-label FBA sellers, and full-time e-commerce entrepreneurs can easily and efficiently calculate their self-employment tax burden (excluding state and federal income taxes) with this free self-employment tax calculator courtesy of 1-800Accountant, America's leading virtual accounting firm.
