Margin on Meesho orders. The Meesho Profit Calculator takes selling price, product cost, commission, shipping cost borne by you, gst on fees, return rate, cost per returned order (reverse shipping, damage) and returns expected profit per order plus net margin, expected return cost per order. Results update as you type, and the formula is shown under the result so you can repeat it in your own spreadsheet.
Online and retail margins are decided by the costs that are easy to forget: fees, shipping, returns, storage and advertising. Fill in every line, even with an estimate, before deciding what to sell and at what price. Use the worked example below to check the maths against your own figures.
How the Meesho Profit Calculator works
Meesho's zero-commission model means returns are the main cost. A high return rate on low-priced items can wipe out the margin entirely.
Worked example
With the example values (selling price of ₹500, product cost of ₹250, commission of 0%, shipping cost borne by you of ₹0, gst on fees of 18%, return rate of 8%, cost per returned order (reverse shipping, damage) of ₹60), the expected profit per order is ₹245.20; net margin 49.04%, expected return cost per order ₹4.80. Change any figure above and the result updates immediately; use Copy results to paste the summary into a note or email.
