Profit = price − GST in price − (fees + shipping) − product cost − other costs − ads. The 18% GST on marketplace fees (₹11.70 here) is claimed back as input tax credit, so it is not counted.
Of every 100 orders dispatched: 73 kept, 15 returned, 12 RTO. A return costs ₹65.00 and an RTO costs ₹65.00, so profit per order dispatched is ₹124.97.

Amazon.in rates were read from its public fee page on 5 Nov 2026: referral fees by category and price band, closing fees effective 7 Sept 2026, and weight-handling fees effective 16 Mar 2026. Amazon adds 18% GST to all of them. FC pick and pack follows the page's formula on billed weight; the page does not say whether actual or billed weight applies. Not included: FC storage and removal fees, Heavy & Bulky weight-handling tables, programme fees, and any tax collected at source. Meesho and Flipkart do not publish full rate cards, so their fees come from you. Fees change often: check the figure in your seller account before you price a product.
Notes for This Preset
At a selling price of ₹499 (5% GST inclusive) for a 350 g kurti with a product cost of ₹200 and ₹15 packing, Meesho charges 0% commission. Using an example shipping charge of ₹65 (Meesho publishes no shipping rate card: use the charge shown in your Supplier Panel), a delivered order earns ₹195.24 (41.1% margin). Returns and RTO matter: with example rates of 15% customer returns and 12% RTO, and the calculator's assumption that the outbound shipping charge is lost on each of them, profit per order dispatched falls to ₹124.97 (26.3%). The return shipping fee Meesho charges on customer returns is not included here; add yours in the Return shipping field.
How can I raise my profit on this product?
Three levers matter most. Price: Amazon's closing fee and many referral rates step up at ₹300, ₹500 and ₹1,000, so check which band your price sits in. Returns: every return or RTO costs at least the outbound shipping fee, so a lower return rate raises profit faster than a small price cut. Fulfilment: compare Easy Ship, self-ship, Seller Flex and Fulfilled by Amazon in the table above, because the closing and shipping fees differ for each.
