Meesho Profit Calculator for Sellers
This Meesho Profit Calculator is built specifically for Meesho sellers who want to estimate their actual profit or loss based on real selling conditions.
Unlike generic ecommerce calculators, Meesho selling involves low price points, thin margins, and high return sensitivity. Even a small miscalculation in costs or pricing can silently convert a high-order product into a loss-making one.
This tool helps you calculate:
Estimated profit or loss per Meesho order
Net profit margin (%) after all costs
Impact of returns and RTO on profitability
True unit economics before scaling
If you are unsure whether your Meesho product is genuinely profitable, this calculator gives you clear profit visibility before you invest time or scale orders.
How Meesho Profit Calculator Works
The Meesho Profit Calculator is designed to help Meesho sellers clearly understand their actual profit or loss before listing or scaling products on the Meesho marketplace.
Using the Meesho Profit Calculator, you enter your selling price, product cost, shipping deduction, packaging cost, ad cost per order, expected RTO rate, and applicable GST details. The calculator processes these inputs to estimate net settlement, total deductions, and profit per delivered order.
Because Meesho operates on low-price, high-volume dynamics, even small errors in cost assumptions or return rates can silently wipe out margins. The Meesho Profit Calculator focuses on practical clarity, helping sellers identify whether a product is genuinely profitable or only appears profitable on the surface.
In practical terms, the Meesho Profit Calculator helps sellers:
- Calculate estimated profit or loss per Meesho order
- Understand unit-level profitability after all deductions
- Identify loss-making prices caused by returns or hidden costs
- Make informed decisions on whether a product is safe to scale
The Meesho Profit Calculator is meant to support decision-making, not replace seller judgment. Actual payouts may vary based on logistics performance, return behavior, and platform-level changes.
Example Meesho Profit Calculation
Here’s how a Meesho profit calculation works step by step.
Example Scenario
Assume the following details for a product listed on Meesho:
- Customer selling price (GST included): ₹499
- GST rate: 5%
- Product cost: ₹84
- Shipping deduction (charged by Meesho): ₹69
- Packaging cost: ₹10
- Return / RTO rate: 15%
- Ad cost per order: ₹0
TCS: 1%
TDS: 1%
Step-by-Step Calculation
- GST calculation (price breakup)
The selling price shown to the customer includes GST, so the first step is to separate GST from the price.
Base price (before GST)
= 499 ÷ 1.05
= ₹475
GST amount
= 499 − 475
= ₹24
GST is collected from the customer and later paid to the government. It is neither a profit nor a business cost.
- Net revenue is considered for profit calculation
Only the GST-exclusive base price is treated as seller revenue.
Net revenue (before costs)
= ₹475
- Expected return (RTO) cost
Returns are calculated as an average expected loss based on the return rate.
Expected RTO cost
= 15% of base price
≈ ₹24
- Total operational cost
This includes all real costs borne by the seller.
- Product cost
- Shipping deduction
- Packaging cost
- Expected RTO cost
Ad cost
= 84 + 69 + 10 + 24 + 0
= ₹187
- Statutory deductions
Mandatory deductions are applied by the platform.
- TCS (1% of base price) ≈ ₹5
- TDS (1% of base price) ≈ ₹5
Total statutory deductions
= ₹10
- Net profit per order
Net revenue
- Total operational cost
- TCS & TDS
= 475 − 187 − 10
= ₹278
- Profit margin
Net profit ÷ Net revenue × 100
= 278 ÷ 475 × 100
≈ 58.5%
Final Result
GST collected: ₹24 (shown for tax purposes only)
Net profit per order: ₹278
Profit margin: ~ 58.5%
