An estimate from the numbers you type. Nothing is uploaded or saved: the numbers stay in this browser tab.
This free Meesho seller calculator shows the profit and margin you can expect on each dispatched order once customer returns and RTO are counted. Enter the settlement amount you receive for a delivered order, your product, packaging and ads costs, and your return and RTO rates. You can also type your own commission rate. The result is an estimate; your real numbers are in your Meesho payment files.
This is an estimate, not your payment statement
The calculator knows only what you type. Meesho’s charges change and differ by category, so no commission, shipping or return charge is built in. The commission box is empty until you type your own rate. Take every amount from your own payment files.
For your real numbers from your reports, use the free Meesho seller dashboard. It reads the order, payment and returns reports you upload and shows orders, payments, returns and profit for each SKU.
What to enter in each box
Enter eight numbers for one product, plus your commission rate if you need it. A box left empty counts as 0.
| Box | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Settlement price (₹) | The amount Meesho pays you for one delivered order, from your payment file. It is not the listing price the customer sees. |
| Meesho commission % (optional) | Leave it empty if the price you entered is already after commission. If you entered your selling price before commission, type the rate from your own payment file. No rate is filled in for you. |
| Product cost (₹) | What it costs you to make or buy one unit. |
| Packaging cost (₹) | Bag or box, tape and label for one order. It is spent on every order you dispatch, delivered or not. |
| Ads cost per order (₹) | Your ads spend for a period divided by all the orders you dispatched in that period. Enter 0 if you do not run ads. |
| Customer returns (%) | Out of 100 dispatched orders, how many the customer received and sent back. |
| RTO (%) | Out of 100 dispatched orders, how many came back without being delivered. |
| Loss per return (₹) | What one customer return costs you besides packaging: the return charge shown in your payment file plus an allowance for damage, as one amount. |
| Loss per RTO (₹) | What one RTO costs you besides packaging. It starts at 0. Check your own payment file and enter what you find. |
Meesho commission calculator and margin calculator in one
The page works as a commission calculator and as a margin calculator for one product. It takes the commission rate you type, works out the commission on your delivered orders, and shows the margin that is left after every cost you entered.
There are two ways to handle commission, and you should use only one of them:
- You know the settlement price. Enter it and leave the commission box empty. The settlement is already after commission.
- You know only the selling price. Enter it and type the commission rate from your own payment file. The calculator takes that share off each delivered order.
It is not a tool that picks a listing price for you. To use it as a price calculator, change the price box and compare the profit, the margin and the break-even rate at each price.
How this is calculated
The calculator works on 100 dispatched orders and then divides by 100 to get the figure for one order.
- Delivered orders = 100 − customer returns − RTO. Only delivered orders are paid.
- Money received = delivered orders × the price you entered.
- Meesho commission = money received × your commission % ÷ 100. It is counted on delivered orders only, and it is 0 when the box is empty.
- Product cost = delivered orders × product cost, when returned products can be sold again. If you untick that box, it is 100 × product cost.
- Packaging and ads = 100 × packaging cost + 100 × ads cost per order, because both are spent on every dispatched order.
- Return losses = customer returns × loss per return + RTO × loss per RTO.
- Profit per 100 orders = money received − commission − product cost − packaging and ads − return losses.
- Profit per dispatched order = profit per 100 orders ÷ 100.
- Margin % = profit per 100 orders ÷ money received × 100. Money received here is before the commission you typed.
- Break-even return + RTO rate = the combined rate at which the profit is exactly zero, keeping returns and RTO in the same proportion you entered (half and half if you entered neither). As a formula: profit on one order with no returns ÷ what one failed order takes away × 100, where the profit with no returns is price after commission − product cost − packaging − ads, and a failed order takes away the price after commission, plus the average loss you entered, less the product cost when the product can be sold again.
What the calculator assumes
- With the commission box empty, the price you enter is already after Meesho’s deductions on a delivered order.
- With a commission rate typed in, commission is that share of the price you entered, on delivered orders only. A returned or RTO order is counted with no commission.
- A returned or RTO order brings no payment.
- With the box ticked, a returned or RTO product comes back and is sold again, so its product cost is not lost; only its packaging and the loss you entered are. With the box unticked, the product cost of every returned and RTO unit is lost.
- Returns and RTO together cannot be more than 100%. If they are, RTO is reduced to fit.
- GST, income tax, rent, salaries and other overheads are not included.
Worked example (made-up numbers)
These numbers are invented to show the steps. They are not Meesho’s charges and not anyone’s real results. Press “Try the example” in the calculator to load them.
Settlement price ₹300, commission box empty, product cost ₹150, packaging ₹10, ads ₹10 per order, customer returns 10%, RTO 10%, loss per return ₹100, loss per RTO ₹0, returned products sold again.
| Step | Working | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Delivered orders | 100 − 10 − 10 | 80 |
| Money received | 80 × ₹300 | ₹24,000 |
| Product cost | 80 × ₹150 | − ₹12,000 |
| Packaging | 100 × ₹10 | − ₹1,000 |
| Ads | 100 × ₹10 | − ₹1,000 |
| Return losses | 10 × ₹100 + 10 × ₹0 | − ₹1,000 |
| Profit per 100 orders | ₹9,000 | |
| Profit per dispatched order | ₹9,000 ÷ 100 | ₹90 |
| Margin | ₹9,000 ÷ ₹24,000 | 37.5% |
| Break-even return + RTO rate | Rate at which profit is zero | 65% |
The same example with a made-up 10% commission. This rate is only an example and is not Meesho’s rate. Treat ₹300 as the selling price and type 10 in the commission box: commission is ₹24,000 × 10% = ₹2,400 on the 80 delivered orders, the profit per 100 orders falls from ₹9,000 to ₹6,600, the profit per dispatched order is ₹66, the margin is 27.5% and the break-even rate is 58.8%.
Back with the commission box empty: if the returned products could not be sold again, the product cost would be 100 × ₹150 = ₹15,000, the profit would fall to ₹60 per order and the break-even rate to 37.1%.

Meesho profit calculator FAQs
Do I need an account to use the Meesho profit calculator?
No. The calculator is free and works without a login. The numbers you type stay in your browser tab; they are not uploaded and not saved, so they are gone when you close or reload the page.
Which price should I enter in the calculator?
Enter the settlement amount Meesho pays you for one delivered order, which you can read in your payment file, and leave the commission box empty. If you only know your selling price before commission, enter that and type your own commission rate. Do not do both, or the commission is counted twice.
What is a break-even return rate?
It is the share of dispatched orders that can come back, as customer returns and RTO together, before your profit falls to zero. If your real rate is above it, the product loses money at the current price and costs.
Why does the calculator not fill in Meesho commission or return charges for me?
Because Meesho’s charges change and differ by category, any fixed figure would be wrong for many sellers. You type the amounts found in your own payment file, so the result matches your product.
What should I enter as the loss per return?
Add up what one customer return costs you besides packaging: the return charge shown in your payment file and an average amount for products that come back damaged. Enter the total as one number in rupees.
How much commission does Meesho take?
There is no single figure to give: it differs by category and changes over time, so this page does not state one. Your own rate is in your payment file from the Meesho Supplier Panel: divide the commission shown for a delivered order by its price. Type that rate into the Meesho commission % box, or leave the box empty and enter the settlement price.
Does Meesho charge for RTO, and where does it go in the calculator?
That depends on Meesho’s current policy, and your own payment file shows what was deducted for your RTO orders. Enter what you find as the loss per RTO. The box starts at 0, so the result assumes no RTO charge until you type one.
Can I use this as a Meesho commission calculator?
Yes. Enter your selling price and type your commission rate: the calculator works out the commission on your delivered orders and takes it off the profit. The rate has to come from you, because the page does not know Meesho’s rates.
Is this a Meesho price calculator?
It does not suggest a listing price. It shows the profit and margin at the price you type, so you can change the price box and compare the results before you decide.
How is the calculator different from the Meesho seller dashboard?
The calculator estimates one product from numbers you type, which is useful before you set a price. The Seller Help dashboard reads the reports you upload and shows what really happened, SKU by SKU. The dashboard needs a free account.
