Myntra seller margin calculator
This free Myntra seller margin calculator shows what a style earns after Myntra's commission, fixed fee, logistics and, most importantly, returns. Fashion return rates of 25% to 40% are normal on Myntra, and a return does not just cancel the sale: it leaves you paying forward and reverse shipping on a unit that comes back. The tool therefore gives three numbers, the payout on a kept order, the loss on a returned order, and the blended payout per unit shipped at your return rate, plus the return rate at which the style stops making money. It runs in your browser as you type. The fee lines are explained in our Myntra seller fees guide; this page covers the tool and its defaults, as of September 2026.
Why does the calculator ask for your commission?
Myntra does not publish a rate card. Commission is agreed per seller and category at onboarding and appears in your partner portal. Press reports put standard apparel commission at 25% to 30%, with Myntra cutting rates to 0% to 1% on select items under Rs 500 from mid-2025 to compete for low-ticket shoppers, and a zero-commission window for new Indian D2C brands announced in January 2026. Blogs quote 15% to 35% depending on brand and category. The 18% default is an illustrative mid-range figure for a marketplace-model apparel seller, not a Myntra number; type your own.
What does each line mean?
- MRP and discount. Commission is charged on the price the customer pays, so the tool applies your discount first. The default of 25% off Rs 1,332 gives a Rs 999 selling price.
- Commission. Percentage of selling price. Reversed on a return.
- Fixed fee. A per-order charge; blogs quote Rs 15 to Rs 35 by price slab. Often not reversed on a return.
- Forward logistics and packaging. Shipping to the customer plus your packaging; blogs report Rs 55 to Rs 120 by weight and zone. Charged whether or not the item is kept.
- Collection charge. A small percentage on payment collection in some rate cards. Set to 0 if yours has none.
- Return rate and reverse logistics. The share of shipped units that come back, and what Myntra charges to bring each one back, usually close to the forward rate.
- GST on fees. 18% on all marketplace fees. Shown in the payout because it is a cash deduction; GST-registered sellers claim it back as input credit. Myntra also deducts 1% TCS, which is adjustable against your GST liability and left out of the tool.
How do you read the results?
Net payout, kept order is selling price minus all fees and GST. Net on a returned order is negative: the sale is refunded, commission reversed, but fixed fee, forward and reverse logistics and their GST remain. Blended payout per unit shipped weights the two by your return rate, and profit per unit shipped deducts cost of goods only on kept units, since a returned unit comes back to stock (ignoring damage). Break-even return rate is the return percentage at which profit per unit shipped reaches zero; if your category's real return rate is above it, the style loses money at that price.
Worked example: a Rs 999 kurta with 30% returns
Assumptions: MRP Rs 1,332 at 25% discount, 18% commission (assumed), Rs 25 fixed fee, Rs 70 forward logistics, 1.5% collection charge, 30% return rate, Rs 70 reverse logistics, cost Rs 365, GST 18%.
| Line | Kept order | Returned order |
|---|---|---|
| Selling price | Rs 999.00 | Rs 0 (refunded) |
| Commission | Rs 179.82 | Rs 0 (reversed) |
| Fixed fee | Rs 25.00 | Rs 25.00 |
| Forward logistics | Rs 70.00 | Rs 70.00 |
| Reverse logistics | Rs 0 | Rs 70.00 |
| Collection charge | Rs 14.99 | Rs 0 |
| GST on fees | Rs 52.17 | Rs 29.70 |
| Net | Rs 657.03 | Rs -194.70 |
Blended at 30% returns: 0.7 x 657.03 plus 0.3 x -194.70 = Rs 401.51 per unit shipped. Cost of goods on the 70% kept: Rs 255.50. Profit per unit shipped: about Rs 146, or 14.6% of the selling price. Push returns to 40% and profit falls to about Rs 97; at the break-even return rate of roughly 60% it reaches zero. Cut reverse logistics to Rs 50 by fixing size charts and photography and the 30% case improves by Rs 7 a unit, which over 10,000 units a season is real money.

FAQ
What commission does Myntra charge? It is not published. Press reports put standard apparel at 25% to 30%, with 0% to 1% on select items under Rs 500 and a zero-commission window for new D2C brands. Your partner portal has your rate.
Why is the returned order negative? Because the refund cancels the sale but Myntra usually still charges the fixed fee, forward shipping and reverse shipping, plus GST on them. Check your rate card for which lines are reversed.
Is GST a real cost? It is a cash deduction on every payout, but a GST-registered seller claims it back as input credit, so it is a timing cost rather than a permanent one.
What return rate should I enter? Your own from the portal. If you are new, 25% to 35% is typical for apparel and footwear on Myntra; accessories run lower.
Does the tool include the Growth Enablement Charge or ads? No. The one-time Rs 15,000 or Rs 25,000 charge and any ad spend are not per-unit fees; add an average per-unit ad cost to cost of goods if you want a loaded margin.
