Meesho Profit Calculator

Find your real per-order profit on Meesho after commission, shipping, GST and returns — not just the price minus cost.

How it works

Enter the price the customer pays, your product cost, and the costs Meesho and logistics add on top.

Percentage fees (commission, GST) are charged on the selling price. Returns are modelled as an expected reverse-logistics cost across your return rate.

Everything recalculates instantly as you type — no page reloads.

Formula & methodology

  • Net profit = Selling price − (Product cost + Commission + Shipping + Packaging + GST + Ads + Expected return cost + Other)
  • Commission = Selling price × Commission %
  • Expected return cost = Return rate % × (Shipping + Packaging)
  • Profit margin = Net profit ÷ Selling price × 100
  • Break-even price = Fixed per-order costs ÷ (1 − percentage-fee fraction)

Worked example

Example: ₹799 price, ₹300 cost, 5% commission, ₹70 shipping, ₹15 packaging, 18% GST, 15% returns.

  • Commission = 5% × ₹799 = ₹39.95
  • GST = 18% × ₹799 = ₹143.82
  • Expected return cost = 15% × (₹70 + ₹15) = ₹12.75
  • Total costs = ₹300 + ₹70 + ₹15 + ₹39.95 + ₹143.82 + ₹12.75 = ₹581.52
  • Net profit = ₹799 − ₹581.52 = ₹217.48

Important assumptions

  • Commission and GST percentages are the values you enter — we do not hard-code Meesho's fee schedule because it changes and varies by category.
  • Returns are modelled as an average reverse-logistics cost, not the exact loss on any single order.
  • GST input/output offsets and TCS are simplified; treat the result as an estimate.

Common mistakes

  • Ignoring returns. On Meesho a high return rate can turn a 'profitable' order into a loss.
  • Forgetting GST on the sale.
  • Counting the ad spend for the whole month but the profit for a single order.

Frequently asked questions

Does Meesho charge a commission?

Meesho's commission depends on the category and price slab and has changed over time. Enter your actual category commission — this tool does not assume a fixed rate.

Why does my profit drop so much with returns?

A returned order earns no revenue but still costs you reverse shipping and packaging. At a 15–25% return rate this materially lowers average profit per order.

Is GST really 18%?

18% is only a default assumption. Verify your product's GST slab and adjust the field.
