Your profit breakdown
Estimate. TCS/TDS are standard marketplace deductions; commission varies by category (many Meesho categories are 0%). It doesn't include GST you remit or return/RTO losses — for those, upload your payment sheet in the full tool.
How Meesho commission and shipping fees work
Meesho's model is different from most marketplaces. On the commission side, many categories are charged 0% commission — you keep the full sale price minus two small statutory deductions every marketplace makes: TCS at 0.5% and TDS at 0.1% of the order value. Some categories do carry a commission %; if yours does, enter it in the calculator above.
On shipping, Meesho offers buyers free delivery, so a delivered order usually has no forward-shipping charge deducted from you. The real shipping cost hits on returns and RTO — a returned order still moves through logistics both ways, and that cost has to be spread across your delivered orders. This is why a product's return rateaffects profit far more than any per-order shipping fee.
So the money that actually lands in your bank — your settlement — is: selling price − commission − TCS − TDS. Subtract your product cost from that and you have your real per-order profit, exactly what the calculator shows.
How to calculate profit margin on Meesho
- Start with your settlement — selling price minus commission, TCS (0.5%) and TDS (0.1%). That's what Meesho pays you, not the sale price on your listing.
- Subtract your true product cost — supplier price plus packaging and any handling. The result is your net profit per order.
- Divide by the selling price × 100 to get your profit margin %. (Divide by cost instead for ROI %.)
- Sanity-check against returns. If a SKU returns often, its effective margin is lower than a single order suggests — a 20% margin can vanish at a 20% return rate.
Tips to increase profitability on Meesho
Price from settlement, not sale price
Set your price by working backwards from the profit you want after commission, TCS and TDS — not by adding a markup to cost.
Attack your return rate
Better photos, accurate size charts and honest descriptions cut returns — and cutting returns lifts margin more than any price tweak.
Watch weight & packaging
Lighter, well-packed products lower RTO/return logistics cost and reduce damage returns. Trim packaging that adds weight without protection.
Double down on winners
Use order-wise, SKU-wise profit to find the products that actually make money and push ad spend and stock there — not on high-revenue, low-margin SKUs.
Bundle to raise order value
Combos raise the average order value so fixed per-order costs (TCS/TDS/packaging) are a smaller share of each sale.
Keep GST clean
File input credits properly so GST is a true pass-through and not a silent cost eating your margin.
