How to use Marketplace Net Profit Calculator

Our calculator reveals your true bottom line and computes your break-even RTO (return) threshold.

Marketplace Settlement Transparency & Return Economics
Essential operational checkpoints to prevent pickup rejections, blurred barcodes, and courier SLA breaches.
Never forget the 18% GST on marketplace charges. While marketplaces quote nominal commission rates (e.g. 10%), an additional 18% GST is levied on the commission and all shipping fees. This often adds ₹15 to ₹45 of unexpected deductions per order.
Customer returns (RTO vs Customer Return) have drastically different cost impacts. On Meesho, undelivered RTO orders generally carry zero return shipping fees, whereas customer-initiated returns on Flipkart and Amazon incur full forward and reverse logistics charges.
Keep packaging weight strictly under 500 grams for lightweight goods. Crossing 501g immediately pushes your shipment into the higher 1kg weight slab, increasing shipping deductions by ₹25 to ₹40 per package.
Audit Bank Settlements Monthly
Compare your calculator output against your monthly GST settlement spreadsheet to detect incorrect weight slab deductions by courier partners.
Price for Expected RTO
In categories with high returns (like apparel with 25-35% return rates), build a ₹30-50 return buffer into your customer selling price to safeguard operating margins.
Questions about this tool
Detailed guidance covering printer settings, paper dimensions, invoice separation, and courier scanning requirements.
Why is my actual bank settlement payout lower than (Selling Price - Commission)?
Marketplaces deduct multiple charges beyond basic commission: fixed closing fees (₹5 to ₹50 based on price bracket), forward shipping charges based on weight and distance, 18% GST on all service charges, and mandatory 1% TCS / 0.1% TDS withholding taxes.
What is 'Break-Even RTO' and why is it critical?
Break-even RTO is the maximum return rate percentage your product can endure before total losses from shipping and handling erase all profits from delivered orders. If your product's actual return rate exceeds this threshold, you lose money on every sale.
Is Meesho truly 0% commission?
Yes, Meesho charges 0% commission on seller listings. However, sellers still incur customer return costs, packaging expenses, and product manufacturing costs. Our calculator models Meesho's zero-commission structure accurately.
Are my product costs and pricing data stored on your server?
No. All mathematical calculations run exclusively in your browser's local memory. Your product sourcing costs, margins, and sales volumes remain strictly confidential.
