## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Amazon FBA Profit Calculator

Calculate the true net profit, margin, ROI, and breakeven price of any Amazon FBA product after the costs that quietly eat your margin: referral fees, FBA fulfillment fees, COGS, inbound shipping, storage, and ad spend.

Most sellers look at revenue and assume they are profitable. This Actor shows what is actually left per unit once Amazon takes its cut.

### Input

| Field | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Sale price | Yes | Your Amazon selling price, e.g. 24.99 |
| Product cost / COGS | No | Manufacturing or purchase cost per unit |
| Inbound shipping | No | Cost to send one unit to Amazon |
| Referral fee % | No | Category referral fee, defaults to 15% |
| FBA fulfillment fee | No | Per-unit FBA fee from Amazon's schedule |
| Storage & other | No | Storage, returns allowance, prep, misc |
| Ad cost per unit | No | Average PPC spend per unit sold |

### Output

A dataset record with a full cost **breakdown** plus **results**: net profit, profit margin, ROI, breakeven price, and a simple profitability flag.

```json
{
  "results": {
    "netProfit": 6.49,
    "profitMargin": 25.97,
    "roi": 86.53,
    "breakevenPrice": 17.35,
    "isProfitable": true
  }
}
````

### From one product to your whole catalog

This calculator runs one product at a time. Real Amazon businesses leak profit across hundreds of SKUs at once, and the leaks are rarely where you expect.

[Sellerview.ai](https://sellerview.ai/) spots those profit leaks automatically at the SKU level, pulling TACoS, ACoS, ad spend, fees, and margins into one place so you know exactly where money is being made and where it is quietly disappearing.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "salePrice": "24.99",
    "productCost": "6.00",
    "inboundShipping": "1.50",
    "referralFeePercent": "15",
    "fbaFee": "4.75",
    "storageAndOther": "0.50",
    "adCostPerUnit": "2.00"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("sellerview.ai/amazon-fba-profit-calculator").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
