Walmart Fee Calculator

Walmart charges a referral fee on each sale, a percentage of the total sales price that depends on the category. Most categories are 15%, electronics and computers are lower, and there is no minimum fee. Walmart says there are no setup or monthly fees. If you use Walmart Fulfillment Services, you also pay fulfillment and storage fees.

Yes. Walmart’s total sales price includes the item price plus shipping and handling, gift wrap and other charges, and the referral fee is a percentage of that total. A $20 item with $5 shipping in a 15% category pays $3.75. With WFS the customer usually pays no separate shipping, so the fee is on the item price.

Apparel & Accessories is charged on the whole price at one rate: 5% for items with a total sales price of $15 or less, 10% between $15 and $20, and 15% above $20. A $15 T-shirt pays $0.75, a $20 one $2.00 and a $25 one $3.75, so pricing just under a threshold can save fees.

Walmart uses the unit weight for items under 1 lb. From 1 lb up, it takes the unit weight or the dimensional weight, length × width × height ÷ 139, whichever is greater. It adds 0.25 lb for packaging and rounds up to the pound. A 2 lb shipping weight costs $4.95, and Walmart’s own 6 lb example in a 12 × 10 × 10 in box costs $7.75.

Standard items add $0.50 if they are clothing, $0.50 for hazardous materials such as aerosols or batteries, and $1 if the retail price is under $10. Oversize items add $3, or $20 for the largest, which also start at 90 lb. Items over 150 lb or over 108 inches long are big & bulky: $155 plus $0.80 per lb above 90 lb.

Storage is $0.75 per cubic foot per month from January to September, charged by the day. From October to December, items stored more than 30 days pay $1.50 more per cubic foot, and anything stored more than 12 months pays $2.25. Walmart’s example: a 10 × 5.9 × 5.9 in item stored for 90 days costs $0.45.
