Selling price − Total costsProduct cost + Marketplace fees + Shipping + Other costs(Net profit ÷ Selling price) × 100(Net profit ÷ Product cost) × 100Important: This general calculator does not automatically calculate GST, income tax, marketplace-specific fee slabs, refunds, return-to-origin charges or advertising attribution.

Ecommerce profit calculation example
Suppose you sell a product for ₹499. Product cost is ₹150, marketplace fees are ₹80, shipping and packaging cost ₹50, and other expenses are ₹0.
| Selling price | ₹499 |
|---|---|
| Product cost | ₹150 |
| Marketplace fees | ₹80 |
| Shipping + packaging | ₹50 |
| Other costs | ₹0 |
| Total costs | ₹280 |
| Estimated net profit | ₹219 |
In this example, the estimated profit margin is 43.89% and ROI on product cost is 146%. These figures are illustrative; actual profit depends on your expenses and settlement rules.
