Quick answer

For low-priced items under ₹1,000, all three marketplaces now charge little or no commission, so shipping and fixed fees decide which pays more. Amazon adds a closing fee and weight handling fee, Flipkart a fixed fee (and shipping above 500 g or for national orders), and Meesho only shipping. Returns, which are usually highest on Meesho, often matter more than fees. Estimates based on rules checked on 2 October 2026.

Enter one price and product cost.
Adjust each marketplace's fees to match your dashboards (defaults are 2026 estimates for a 500 g item under ₹1,000).

Formula

Net per order = Price ÷ 1.05 (GST) − Cost − Fees × 1.18 (GST on fees)

After returns = Net × (1 − return rate) − Return cost × return rate (₹100 per return assumed)
