An ecommerce profit calculator estimates the GST-inclusive selling price needed to cover product cost, packing, an estimated return reserve, seller fees and your target profit. This free calculator follows the same editable cost model for Meesho, Flipkart, Amazon and other Indian marketplaces; it does not fetch platform fee schedules. Enter six values to see the suggested whole-rupee selling price, GST component, pocket profit and margin.
How to use this tool
- 1Enter the effective product purchase cost after considering recoverable purchase GST, plus your target profit in rupees.
- 2Add packing cost and shipping or other seller fees. Shipping starts at zero; replace it with your actual seller-side charges.
- 3Choose a return allowance percentage. The reserve is product cost multiplied by allowance divided by 100, not a prediction of actual return rates.
- 4Enter the GST rate applicable to the product’s HSN classification. The default 18% is only an editable example.
- 5Review the GST-inclusive recommended price, rounded upward to the nearest rupee, and the recalculated GST and estimated profit. Do not add GST again.
- 6Use Copy Calculation to share all inputs and results, or Reset Calculator to restore the example values.
Common use cases
Frequently asked questions
How is selling price calculated with GST?
Return reserve is purchase cost × return percentage divided by 100. Add purchase cost, packing, reserve and seller fees for estimated cost, then add target profit. Multiply this subtotal by 1 + GST rate ÷ 100 and round up to a whole rupee. The recommended price already includes GST.
How do I calculate net profit on Meesho?
Subtract the GST included in the final selling price and the estimated costs from that selling price. Include known marketplace deductions in seller fees. This is a planning estimate, not a settlement report; advertising, return outcomes, ITC and other expenses can change actual profit.
What is the difference between GST-inclusive and GST-exclusive prices?
The subtotal before GST is the model’s GST-exclusive amount. The recommended selling price is GST-inclusive. Its GST component is final price × rate ÷ (100 + rate); the final gross price is not the taxable value. Upward rounding can slightly change the included GST and pocket profit.
How do packing and returns affect profitability?
Packing is added directly to cost. Return allowance creates a reserve equal to a percentage of purchase cost. Increasing either raises the suggested price needed to retain the target profit. The allowance is not an actual marketplace return-rate calculation.
How should I choose a target profit margin?
The target input is a rupee amount, not a percentage. Adjust it and compare the displayed margin, calculated as estimated pocket profit ÷ recommended selling price × 100. Consider your real costs and competitive prices; there is no single margin suitable for all products.
What results should the default example produce?
With ₹70 purchase cost, ₹55 target profit, ₹10 packing, 20% return allowance, 18% GST and ₹0 fees: reserve is ₹14, cost ₹94, subtotal ₹149 and GST before rounding ₹26.82. The price rounds from ₹175.82 to ₹176.00; included GST is approximately ₹26.85 and pocket profit ₹55.15.
Does this calculate purchase GST input tax credit?
No. Enter the effective purchase cost after considering any recoverable purchase GST. ITC eligibility and amounts are not calculated separately. Use the GST rate applicable to the product’s HSN classification; the default is not tax-rate advice.
Can GST or return allowance be zero?
Yes. Every input accepts non-negative decimal values. Zero GST adds no output tax; zero return allowance adds no reserve. If every cost and target profit is zero, price and margin are shown as zero. Empty or invalid inputs pause the results until corrected.
Are my calculations stored or sent to a server?
No. Calculations run in your browser without login or paid APIs. Copy Calculation writes the summary to your clipboard only when you click it. Inputs are not saved after reload.
