Find out what Amazon owes you.
Two quick calculators for Amazon India FBA sellers: what Amazon owes you for stock it loses or damages, and the revenue you bleed per day a SKU is out of stock. Runs entirely in your browser.
What Amazon owes you for lost or damaged inventory
amazon.in pays a fair market value it works out itself, minus taxes and fees. Enter your best estimate of that value to see roughly what a batch is worth.
What a stockout actually costs you
Running out isn't just lost sales today — it drags your rank and velocity after you restock. Here's the direct hit for one SKU.
The formulas, written out
Reimbursement value on amazon.in
Amazon's India policy values every reimbursement - lost, damaged, rejected or undeliverable - the same way:
rate × (fair market value
− product taxes − fees)Fair market value is calculated by Amazon's own algorithm, from factors that may include your current sales, past sales and category averages. The fees are the FBA and selling on Amazon fees. The rate matters most for damaged units, which can be paid at grade-based rates.
It is not your manufacturing cost. As of September 2026 there is no working way to declare that on amazon.in - Seller Central's cost-management page opens but does nothing here.
Paid automatically, or claimed?
Under the same policy, only some losses are paid without a claim:
- Automatic: units lost in transit - paid if the unit is not back at the fulfilment centre within 45 days of the refund.
- Claim within 60 days: units lost in the warehouse (from the inventory adjustment) and units missing from an inbound shipment (from delivery).
- Claim within 30 or 7 days: removal orders - 30 days from shipping if lost, 7 days from delivery if short, damaged or swapped (see the removal order guide).
The FBA reimbursements in India guide has every window and what it counts from, and Unilytic's reimbursement tracking checks every payment against what the unit was worth.
Stockout cost
Multiply your normal daily run-rate by how long the SKU was unavailable:
units/day × sale price × days out units/day × profit/unit × days out
The direct, conservative number — it ignores the rank and velocity drag after a stockout, which usually makes the true cost larger.
Want this computed for every SKU from your Inventory Ledger instead of one at a time? That's exactly what Unilytic does. You can also read our Amazon FBA seller guide on reimbursements and claims.
This is one SKU. Unilytic does it for your whole catalog.
Unilytic reads your Amazon Inventory Ledger and surfaces claim-eligible events, under-reimbursements, and stockout risk across every SKU and warehouse — automatically, every day.
