What this Flipkart calculator works out
Flipkart's fees changed twice in a year. In November 2025 it dropped commission on products priced below ₹1,000, and in July 2026 on fashion at any price. What is left on each order is the fixed fee, shipping outside the free zone, a collection fee on cash-on-delivery orders, 18% GST on those fees, TCS, TDS and the cost of returns. Enter your numbers to see the payout, the profit per order and your break-even price.
How Flipkart profit is calculated
- Payout = selling price − commission − fixed fee − collection fee − shipping fee − 18% GST on those fees − TCS − TDS
- Profit per delivered order = selling price ÷ (1 + GST rate) − fees − product cost − packaging
- Profit per 100 orders = orders kept × profit per order − orders returned × cost per return
If you don't claim the GST on fees as input credit, it counts as a cost too. TCS and TDS reduce the payout, but you claim both back.
Flipkart fees used (as of 9 November 2026)
| Fee | Default | Flipkart's rule |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | 0% | 0% below ₹1,000 in any category, and on all fashion |
| Fixed fee | ₹30 (example) | By seller tier and price slab; Bronze pays base + ₹10 |
| Collection fee | 0% | Cash-on-delivery orders only |
| Shipping fee | ₹0 | Free local and zonal shipping under 500 g |
| Return fee | ₹160 | Cut by ₹35 in November 2025 |
Worked example
A kurti set sells for ₹699 with 5% GST, costs ₹380 and uses ₹15 of packaging. The sale value before GST is ₹665.71. Commission is 0% because it is fashion and under ₹1,000. Flipkart deducts the ₹30 fixed fee, ₹5.40 GST on it, ₹3.33 TCS and ₹0.67 TDS, so you receive ₹659.60. After the ₹33.29 GST on the sale, the product and the packaging, a delivered order makes ₹240.71. With 12 returns in 100 orders at ₹175 each, 100 orders make ₹19,082, about ₹190.82 an order. The break-even price is ₹472.
Common mistakes
- Reading 0% commission as no fees. The fixed fee, shipping and returns still apply.
- Pricing a non-fashion product at ₹1,000 or more without its category commission. Crossing ₹1,000 can cut profit sharply, and the break-even price here allows for that jump.
- Planning with a Gold-tier fixed fee as a new seller. Everyone starts at Bronze, which pays ₹10 more.
- Assuming every order ships free. Only local and zonal parcels under 500 g do.
When your own store makes sense
Flipkart is a strong place to be found, but repeat buyers keep coming back through Flipkart. A store of your own lets them reorder directly: see our e-commerce development service. Also selling on Amazon? Compare the same product in the Amazon seller profit calculator.

FAQ
Questions
What commission does Flipkart charge sellers in 2026?
None on products priced below ₹1,000, in any category (announced 14 November 2025), and none on fashion at any price (announced 8 July 2026). Other categories pay their own rate from ₹1,000, which you'll find in your Seller Hub rate card. Shopsy charges no commission at all.
What is the Flipkart fixed fee?
A per-order fee, also called the closing fee, charged on delivered orders. It depends on your price slab, fulfilment type and seller tier: Bronze sellers, which includes every new seller, pay ₹10 more than the base rate, Silver and Gold pay the base rate and Platinum pays less. Flipkart doesn't publish the base rate, so take yours from Seller Hub.
Does Flipkart charge a collection fee on prepaid orders?
No. Flipkart's own seller guide says the collection fee applies to cash-on-delivery orders, as a percentage of the order value that varies by price range. Leave it at 0% for prepaid orders, or enter your COD rate if most of your orders are cash on delivery.
When does Flipkart charge sellers a shipping fee?
Flipkart offers free local and zonal shipping for products under 500 g. National orders and parcels over 500 g pay a shipping fee by weight and distance, so if many of your orders travel across the country or weigh more, enter your average shipping fee from the rate card.
How much does a return cost a Flipkart seller?
Flipkart cut return fees by ₹35 across categories in November 2025, and they have been reported at ₹160 to ₹175 since. You also lose any shipping fee paid on the way out and the packaging. Commission is reversed on a return and no fixed fee is charged.
Are TCS and TDS a cost on a ₹699 Flipkart order?
No. On ₹699 at 5% GST, Flipkart deducts 0.5% TCS (₹3.33) and 0.1% TDS (₹0.67), both worked on the ₹665.71 sale value before GST. They lower your payout, but TCS is credited to your GST cash ledger and TDS counts against your income tax, so once claimed they don't reduce profit.
