Amazon Settlement Reports detail all financial transactions in each payment period (approximately 14 days). They include product sales, refunds, Amazon fees (referral, FBA, storage), advertising costs, and other adjustments. The beginning balance + transactions = ending balance = your deposit amount.
A Settlement Report is Amazon's detailed financial statement for each payment period. It shows every transaction affecting your account balance: sales revenue, refund deductions, all Amazon fee categories, advertising charges, and any other credits or debits.
In Seller Central, go to Reports → Payments → All Statements. Select the settlement period and click Download. You can download in CSV or PDF format. CSV is better for bookkeeping import and reconciliation.
Key sections include: Product charges (revenue), Product charge refunds, FBA fees, Selling fees (referral), Advertising costs, Other transaction fees, and Account balance adjustments. Each section breaks down into individual order-level detail.
Compare the settlement ending balance with your actual bank deposit. They should match. If not, check for reserves held, pending transactions, or adjustments. Reconcile every settlement period to catch discrepancies early.
The settlement amount is sales revenue minus all Amazon deductions (referral fees, FBA fees, refunds, advertising, etc.). This net amount is what Amazon deposits. The difference between gross revenue and settlement deposit equals all Amazon-related costs.
Track every fee, calculate true profit per unit, and never guess your margins again.
