Recovery estimator

Move the sliders. See the damage.

No form, no email, no call. Rough numbers, honestly labelled — and the one figure most sellers have never seen: how much of what you are owed has already expired.

$2,000,000

Your Amazon FBA sales over twelve months.

2.0%

Reimbursement services generally put recoverable losses at 1–3% of revenue. Complex, bulky or high-return catalogs sit higher.

60,000

Used for the fee-overcharge estimate below.

5%

What share of your volume sits on a SKU Amazon has measured incorrectly. Most sellers have never checked, which is rather the point.

$2.50

One size tier is typically a step of a few dollars, not cents.

Look at the expired line again. That is the real story of this business since October 2024. Under the old 18-month window, a once-a-year audit caught nearly everything. Under a 60-day window, roughly five sixths of what you are owed evaporates before anyone looks. Any service still advertising an "18-month lookback" is describing a world that ended two years ago.

Honest caveats

  • These are estimates from industry-wide ranges, not a quote, and not a promise of recovery
  • Leakage varies enormously by category — bulky, fragile and high-return products leak far more than small durable ones
  • The fee-overcharge figure assumes the mis-sizing persists all year; caught early it is smaller, caught late it is worse
  • Inventory reimbursements have been paid at manufacturing cost since March 2025, so a high-margin catalog recovers less than this suggests — while fee overcharges still refund at full value
  • The only way to get a real number is to look at your actual account, which is what the free audit does
