# The Real Math Behind Merch by Amazon Royalty Rates and Pricing

For heavier apparel like hoodies and sweatshirts, the royalty margins are much healthier. I focus my design efforts on colder-weather apparel where a single sale yields $8 to $12 in profit, rather than competing in the ultra-race-to-the-bottom $13 t-shirt space.

Pricing standard t-shirts at $19.99 leaves you with around a $4.50 royalty after Amazon takes their cut and production overhead. Pushing prices up to $21.99 drops sales volume slightly, but your net revenue per conversion jumps significantly, making higher pricing strategies worth testing.
