What do you keep per Meesho order?
Meesho’s low commission hides a fuller fee stack: shipping, TCS, GST and the cost of every return. Enter your numbers to see the profit that actually reaches your bank.

What you actually keep
Total fee + tax load on this order: ₹14. Part of it is reclaimable — the 1% TCS is credited in your GSTR, and wrong shipping or return charges can be claimed back. Robnu reconciles every Meesho settlement to the rupee and files those claims for you.
- Meesho often charges 0% commission — but shipping, TCS, GST and returns are the real costs.
- The 1% TCS deducted is a credit, not a cost: reclaim it in your GSTR.
- Returns are what break Meesho margins — this tool spreads RTO cost across delivered orders.
- A SKU can show a healthy margin per delivered order and still lose money at your real return rate.
- Part of every settlement is reclaimable. Robnu finds it. Free while we figure out pricing.
Low commission is not low cost
Meesho built its seller base on aggressive, often zero-commission pricing, and that is genuinely a strong deal. But sellers who plan around commission alone get surprised on the payout, because the costs that matter on Meesho are the variable ones: weight-based shipping, the reverse leg on returns, and the taxes deducted at source.
Enter your real figures above and the picture changes. The single biggest lever is usually the return rate — pull it from your settlement reports, because sellers estimate it low and every rupee here depends on it.
Margin per SKU you do not have to model
This calculator blends one set of assumptions across your catalogue. Robnu is an agentic OMS: it attributes every real cost to the order that caused it, so you see true margin per SKU — and it reconciles each Meesho settlement to the rupee, reclaiming the TCS credit and the wrong charges automatically.
You sell. Robnu runs the rest — and makes sure every rupee is paid correctly.
Meesho fees, answered
Meesho has run 0% commission on many categories, which is a large part of its appeal to sellers. But shipping, TCS, GST on fees and the cost of returns still apply, so a 0% commission does not mean 0% fees. Always check the current rate card for your category — commission structures change.
TCS (Tax Collected at Source) is 1% (0.5% CGST + 0.5% SGST, or 1% IGST) that the marketplace deducts and deposits against your GSTIN. It is not a cost — it is a credit. You reclaim it when you file your GST returns, but many small sellers never do, effectively gifting the government 1% of turnover. See our guide on claiming your TCS credit.
Because returns are the variable that breaks Meesho unit economics. This calculator spreads your RTO cost across delivered orders, but if your real return rate is higher than you entered, your true margin is lower. Pull the rate from your settlement reports, not memory.
No — they are weight-slab based and depend on the forward and reverse legs. A heavier or bulkier parcel costs more, and a wrong weight recorded by the courier can inflate the charge. That is one of the most common reclaimable errors on a Meesho settlement.
It is a planning tool, not a settlement. It uses one set of assumptions across all orders; your real numbers vary by SKU, weight and category. Use it to understand the shape of your economics and to spot SKUs that cannot survive their return rate — then verify against your actual settlement.
Robnu attributes every real cost to the order that caused it, so you see true margin per SKU rather than a blended estimate — and it reconciles each Meesho settlement to the rupee, reclaiming the TCS credit, wrong shipping charges and duplicate deductions automatically.
