Your result
31 days until the entered age threshold

This tool plans inventory-age and assessment dates. It deliberately does not estimate a fee because marketplace rates, size tiers, exemptions and inventory snapshots change.

Read before relying

Context matters.

  • Use the oldest affected inventory age shown by Amazon rather than a purchase-order or shipment-created date.
  • Removal, disposal, liquidation and new-selection waivers have separate eligibility and cutoff rules.

How this calculation works

A visible path from input to answer.

Track the oldest-unit age, the entered aged-inventory threshold and the next monthly assessment date without inventing a fee amount. The page keeps the calculation scope and its limits beside the result so the output can be checked, copied or revisited.

Calculation flow
  1. Read the record. The calculator uses Oldest unit received by FBA, Inventory review date, Aged-inventory threshold, Confirmed threshold (days) and Monthly assessment day and 1 additional field supplied in the form.
  2. Apply the scope. It applies the Amazon FBA U.S. inventory-age planning — Seller Central inventory and fee records control reference and the explicit date, unit and counting conventions shown in the result.
  3. Expose the checkpoints. Intermediate rows, warnings and timeline events stay visible; the emphasized row identifies the primary checkpoint when one exists.

Assumptions and scope

Calculation purpose: Track the oldest-unit age, the entered aged-inventory threshold and the next monthly assessment date without inventing a fee amount. This is a high-sensitivity reference output; the linked authority or qualified professional controls the final decision.

Boundary behavior

Calendar inputs use plain year-month-day semantics. Leap days, month ends, date-pair order and unsupported dates are checked before the result is shown.

Questions answered

What to know before using the result.

Does the calculator show my actual FBA surcharge?

No. It tracks inventory age and assessment timing only; marketplace, size, storage volume and current fee tables determine amounts.

Which receipt date should I use?

Use the oldest unit date shown by the current FBA inventory-age record for the SKU or inventory group being reviewed.

Why must I confirm the threshold?

Amazon fee thresholds and assessment practices can change by marketplace and year, so Seller Central is the live authority.
