Enter your measurements to see your result.
Quick answer
If you are ₹79 short of a ₹499 free-delivery limit and the fee is ₹49, adding a ₹99 item costs you ₹50 more than paying delivery. Do it only if you need that item. The right add-on costs just above the gap: something you would buy anyway, like a household refill.
How to use this calculator
- Enter your current cart value and the free delivery minimum.
- Enter the delivery fee and the price of an item you could add.
- Say whether you need that item.
Formula
Shortfall = free delivery minimum − cart value
Real cost of an add-on = add-on price − delivery fee you avoid
Add the item only if it covers the shortfall and you need it
Free delivery limits and fees change by city and time. Check them in the app at checkout.
Frequently asked questions
Is adding items for free delivery worth it?
Only if the item is something you need. Otherwise you spend more than the delivery fee to avoid it.
Do memberships remove delivery fees?
Yes, on many apps. Use the membership worth-it calculator to see if the fee pays back.
Are platform fees part of delivery?
No. Many apps charge a separate platform or handling fee. Use the checkout total calculator to add every fee.
