The fee that eats your margin while you decide nothing

Here's what happens with aged FBA inventory. A batch sells slower than you planned. You know you should probably do something, but removal feels like admitting the buy was a mistake, so the units just sit there.

Every month they sit, Amazon charges storage. Then the calendar rolls past the aged-inventory line and the surcharge stacks on top. The stock that was going to make you money is now quietly billing you to exist, and the longer you wait, the deeper the hole gets.

The fix isn't a gut call, it's a subtraction problem. This tool does it in one pass and hands you a straight answer: remove it now, or hold and ride it out.

How it works

1. Enter five numbers

Units on hand, your cost, monthly storage per unit, months to sell, and the removal fee. All of it lives in your FBA reports.

2. We weigh both paths

Total storage to carry the stock until it sells, against the one-time cost of removing it now. Same units, two bills.

3. Get the verdict

REMOVE or HOLD, the exact dollars you save by acting, and the break-even month where the math flips.

Questions sellers ask us

Remove it when the storage fees to carry it until it sells cost more than the removal fee. This tool compares the two totals for you. If your months to sell through is longer than your break-even month, holding is the more expensive choice and the verdict flips to REMOVE.

It's the removal fee per unit divided by the monthly storage fee per unit. Below that many months of storage, holding is cheaper. Past it, you're paying more to store the unit than it would cost to pull it, so removal wins.

It uses whatever monthly storage figure you enter, so pull the real per-unit number from your FBA storage fees report. If a unit has aged into the long-term or aged-inventory surcharge, use that higher rate and the verdict will reflect the true cost of holding it.

Yes. Run it on every aged SKU you own without an account. Drop your email only if you want the verdict and the numbers sent to you.

While you're cleaning house, check what Amazon owes you

Aged stock isn't the only money hiding in your account. Amazon loses and damages inventory in its own warehouses all the time, and it doesn't always pay you back on its own. Most sellers who look find four figures sitting unclaimed.
