FBA Storage Fee Estimator
What a cubic foot a month actually costs you per unit sold, which is a much larger number than the monthly rate. Enter your box in centimetres, because that is how you measure it and not how Amazon charges for it.

Volume per unit –
Storage a month, per unit, January to September–
Storage a month, per unit, October to December–
Months of cover –
Days to clear the stock –
Storage as a share of contribution –
Share of the shipment aging past the surcharge–
Aged surcharge on this shipment –
Total storage for the whole shipment–
Storage per unit sold is the monthly rate times half your months of cover, because stock running down evenly sits for half its cover on average. Put the monthly rate in your margin instead and you understate slow stock by exactly that multiple.
Take this estimator into Excel
The workbook adds a table of sales rates, so you can see the point where a slowing product tips past the aged surcharge. It is a cliff rather than a slope: on the worked example, dropping from 75 units a month to 50 takes the share aging past 241 days from nothing to a fifth of the shipment.

Company law allows accounts to run for 18 months; corporation tax never allows an accounting period longer than 12. Here is how the split is drawn.
The associated companies rules get more involved once a group has layers. Sub-subsidiaries, dormant holding companies and short accounting periods, worked through in a single example.
An acquisition partway through the year still counts as an associated company for the whole accounting period. What that does to your thresholds, and to your tax bill.
