What is the Flipkart fee structure?
See exactly how much you take home on every Flipkart sale
The Flipkart fee structure deducts four charges from every sale — commission (2%–22% by category), a per-order fixed fee (by price slab and seller tier), a shipping fee (by weight and zone), and a collection fee (2% prepaid or 2.5% COD) — with 18% GST on all fees and 0.5% TCS on top. This calculator computes all seven deductions, final settlement, and net profit for any product on Flipkart.
Four fees, not one. Commission, fixed fee, shipping, and collection — and on top of all four, India's 18% GST plus 0.5% TCS. Get any of these wrong and your "profit" is fiction. The per-order fee stack is the most common reason Flipkart sellers think they're making money when they're not.
Real data, every component. Pick your category from a 20+-option dropdown (or override with your exact rate from Seller Hub). Pick your seller tier for the correct fixed fee. Enter weight and zone for the shipping band. Slide your COD share. Add product cost and the tool shows net profit, margin, and take-home instantly.
What free Flipkart calculators miss. The effective commission rate, GST on fees as a separate line, TCS at the current 0.5% (most calculators still show the stale 1% from before July 2024), and a blended collection fee from your real COD-vs-prepaid split. Warnings fire when you're at a loss, when margin is dangerously thin, when COD share is unhealthy, or when a low-price SKU is structurally unprofitable.
Rates verified and sourced. All rates live in a versioned file (`flipkart.json`, last verified 2026-07-04) — Flipkart updates fees several times a year, and this is the only Flipkart fee calculator that publishes its rate source openly. Use it to price new SKUs, compare Flipkart against Amazon, or audit a settlement that looks off.

How it works
From four product numbers to your real take-home
Enter price, category, weight, and a few seller details. The tool runs every Flipkart fee, both taxes, and your COD-vs-prepaid mix to land on the rupees that actually reach your bank.
02
Add shipping & seller tier
Weight + zone look up your Flipkart shipping fee. Your seller tier (Bronze/Silver/Gold) sets the fixed fee.
03
Slide the COD share
COD costs more in collection fees (2.5% vs 2%) and adds Return-to-Origin risk. We blend across your real mix.
04
Read the verdict
Settlement, net profit, margin, fee breakdown, GST on fees, TCS — plus warnings for loss-making, thin margins, high commissions, and COD-heavy orders.

The math
Formula breakdown
No black boxes. Here's the math behind every output. Flipkart charges four fees and India layers 18% GST + 0.5% TCS on top — once you have the components, settlement and profit are simple subtractions.
01
Commission fee
Commission = Selling Price × Category Rate
A percentage of selling price that varies by category — 2% for mobiles, 5–17% for most categories, up to 22% for jewellery. Pulled from our category dropdown or an override.
02
Fixed fee
Fixed Fee = lookup(price slab × seller tier)
A flat per-order amount that depends on the price slab (≤₹300, ₹301–750, >₹750) and your Bronze/Silver/Gold tier. Higher tiers pay materially less per order.
03
Shipping fee
Shipping Fee = lookup(weight band × zone)
Flipkart Smart Logistics bills by weight band (500g, 1 kg, 5 kg, above) and shipping zone (Local, Zonal, National). Heavier + farther = more.
04
Collection fee (blended)
Collection Fee = Selling Price × (COD share × 2.5% + Prepaid share × 2%)
Most calculators use a single COD toggle. We blend your real split — a seller with 30% COD pays a slightly higher rate than a 100%-prepaid seller, just not by as much as a flat COD assumption would suggest.
05
GST on fees
GST on Fees = (Commission + Fixed + Shipping + Collection) × 18%
India GST is charged on every marketplace fee at 18%. You can claim this back as input GST credit when filing your GST return.
06
TCS (Tax Collected at Source)
TCS = Selling Price × 0.5%
Flipkart deducts 0.5% of the selling price as TCS under Section 52 of the CGST Act. The rate dropped from 1% to 0.5% on July 10, 2024 — many calculators are still stale.
07
Final settlement (what hits your bank)
Settlement = Selling Price − Total Fees − GST on Fees − TCS
The single number that matters. Settlement is what Flipkart deposits into your bank, typically Mon/Wed/Fri, 7–10 business days after dispatch.
08
Net profit & margin
Net Profit = Settlement − Product Cost · Margin % = Net Profit ÷ Selling Price × 100
Your actual profit per order. Below 5% margin is dangerously thin on Flipkart — a single return wipes it out.
Worked example
A typical ₹1,000 Home & Kitchen sale, end to end
Let's walk a healthy SKU all the way from price to settlement and net profit, so you can repeat the logic on any product.
Currency note: the example below uses a benchmark scenario priced in Indian Rupee (INR). Values are converted to US Dollar (USD) at the latest exchange rate so you can compare against your own numbers.
Scenario
You're selling a Home & Kitchen item for $1,000.00. Your cost is $500.00 all-in, you're a Silver seller, and your typical buyer is Zonal — 500g shipping, 30% of orders are COD.
1
Step 1 · Commission
Home & Kitchen sits in the 10% commission band. Commission = $1,000.00 × 10% = $100.00.
Commission: $100.00
2
Step 2 · Fixed fee (slab × tier)
Price of $1,000.00 falls in the "above ₹750" slab. As a Silver seller, your fixed fee for that slab is $70.00. Upgrading to Gold would drop this to about ₹35.
Fixed fee: $70.00
3
Step 3 · Shipping fee (weight × zone)
500 g in the Zonal band is $45.00. The same product going National would cost about ₹75; Local about ₹30.
Shipping: $45.00
4
Step 4 · Blended collection fee
With 30% COD and 70% prepaid, the blended rate is 0.3 × 2.5% + 0.7 × 2% = 2.15%. Collection = $1,000.00 × 2.15% = $21.50.
Collection: $21.50
5
Step 5 · GST + TCS, settlement & net profit
Total fees: $236.50. GST on fees (18%): $42.57. TCS (0.5%): $5.00. Settlement = $1,000.00 − $236.50 − $42.57 − $5.00 = $715.93. Net profit = $715.93 − $500.00 = $215.93. Margin 21.6%, take-home 71.6%.
Settlement $715.93 · Profit $215.93 (21.6%)
The takeaway
On this SKU you keep 71.6% of revenue and clear $215.93 in profit per sale at a 21.6% margin — comfortable territory. The biggest single deduction is the 10% commission ($100.00); the smallest is TCS ($5.00).

Common mistakes
What Flipkart sellers get wrong
The traps that turn "profitable on paper" into actual losses.
Forgetting the 18% GST on fees
Why it matters
Flipkart charges 18% GST on every marketplace fee. On a ₹1,000 sale, that's often ₹40–₹60 you didn't plan for — enough to flip a thin margin to a loss.
Fix
Always include GST on fees in your math. This calculator separates it as a line item so you can't miss it.
Using the old 1% TCS rate
Why it matters
TCS dropped from 1% to 0.5% on July 10, 2024, but many tools, spreadsheets, and blog posts still quote 1%. Overestimating TCS makes you under-price your products.
Fix
Use 0.5%, dated. Our rate file marks the change and links the CGST source — re-verify whenever Income Tax issues new notifications.
Toggling COD instead of mixing it
Why it matters
Sellers rarely have 100% COD or 100% prepaid orders. A binary toggle either over- or under-states the blended collection fee.
Fix
Use the COD share slider. A 30%-COD seller pays a different collection fee than either pure mode — model your real mix.
Ignoring the seller tier
Why it matters
Bronze sellers pay ~₹50 more per order on a ₹750+ price than Gold sellers. Across thousands of orders, that's real money.
Fix
Pick your actual tier in the calculator. Use the gap to motivate the requirements to upgrade — typically faster dispatch SLAs and lower cancellations.
Selling at sub-₹100 prices
Why it matters
At very low prices, the fixed fee + GST often exceeds the margin entirely. The category looks cheap to enter but every sale loses money.
Fix
Use the calculator to find your break-even price. Most Flipkart sellers find ₹300+ pricing structurally more workable.
Picking the wrong category for the commission rate
Why it matters
Sub-category commission rates vary widely within a parent category. Jewellery (22%) vs Watches (15%) are listed in similar dropdowns but differ by ₹70 on a ₹1,000 sale.
Fix
Verify your exact rate in Seller Hub → Fee Structure, then enter it in the Override field. The dropdown is a sensible starting point, not a guarantee.
Pro tips
How experienced Flipkart sellers price
Practical ways to keep the math working for you, not Flipkart.
Price for the slab
The fixed fee jumps at ₹300 and ₹750. Pricing a product at ₹745 vs ₹755 saves ₹40–₹50 in fixed fee + GST — meaningful at scale.
Push prepaid hard
A ₹50 prepaid-discount can drop your COD share by 20+ points, save you on collection fees, and slash RTO. The discount usually pays for itself.
Re-verify rates quarterly
Flipkart updates commission and fixed-fee structures several times a year. Refresh your assumptions every quarter — at minimum.
Beat the tier requirements
Hit Silver, then Gold. Each upgrade lowers fixed fees and gives you better placement. The qualifications (faster dispatch, low cancellations) also force better operations.
Bundle to cross fee thresholds
Two ₹250 items sold separately each pay the ≤₹300 fixed fee twice. A ₹500 bundle pays it once. Run the numbers before listing.
Reconcile settlements monthly
Settlement statements occasionally diverge from the formula — disputes, adjustments, RTO debits. Match every settlement against your expected number to catch leaks.
Don't over-pack
Shipping fees jump at 500g and 1 kg. Lighter packaging can keep you in a cheaper band — every 100g saved at the boundary pays off across thousands of orders.

Help & answers
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about how the Flipkart Fee Calculator works.
01How much does Flipkart charge sellers?
Four fees: commission (2%–22% by category, or 0% on eligible listings under ₹1,000 since Nov 2025), a fixed fee, shipping, and collection (2% prepaid / 2.5% COD). Add 18% GST on fees and 0.5% TCS. This calculator computes every component for any product.
02How is the Flipkart commission calculated?
Commission = selling price × your category rate: 2% smartphones, 5–8% electronics, 10–12% home & kitchen, 15–17% fashion, up to 22% jewellery. Since Nov 2025, eligible listings under ₹1,000 pay 0%. Sub-categories vary — verify in Seller Hub and use the override field.
03Does Flipkart charge commission on products under ₹1,000?
No — since November 2025 Flipkart charges 0% commission for eligible sellers on listings priced below ₹1,000 (the earlier waiver was ₹500, select categories only). You still pay the fixed fee, shipping, collection, 18% GST on fees, and 0.5% TCS — but the biggest line drops to zero.
04What is the Flipkart fixed fee?
A flat per-order amount by price slab and seller tier. Bronze: ~₹50/₹80/₹120 by slab; Silver: ~₹35/₹50/₹70; Gold: ~₹20/₹25/₹35. Higher tiers reward consistent performance (fast dispatch, low cancellations) with lower per-order costs.
05What is the collection fee on Flipkart — is COD really more expensive?
Yes — 2% for prepaid, 2.5% for COD. Most calculators use a binary toggle; this one blends your actual COD share, so a seller with 30% COD pays the correct mix. Beyond fees, COD also brings significant RTO (Return-to-Origin) risk that compounds the real cost.
06How does GST apply to Flipkart fees?
18% GST is charged on every Flipkart fee (commission + fixed + shipping + collection). The selling price itself is GST-inclusive. You can claim the 18% on fees as input GST credit when filing returns, but it's deducted from your settlement immediately in cash-flow terms.
07What is TCS and how much does Flipkart deduct?
TCS (Tax Collected at Source) is 0.5% of your selling price, withheld by Flipkart under CGST Section 52. It dropped from 1% on July 10, 2024 — tools quoting 1% are stale. You can claim it back against your GST liability when filing.
08What is the difference between Bronze, Silver, and Gold seller tiers?
Flipkart's Power Seller tiers — Bronze, Silver, Gold — are based on dispatch speed, cancellations, and order count. Bronze→Silver saves ~₹15/order in fixed fees; Silver→Gold saves another ₹15–₹35. Across thousands of orders that's real money, plus higher tiers get better visibility.
09How are Flipkart shipping fees calculated?
Flipkart charges by weight band (≤500g, 500g–1kg, 1–5kg, >5kg) and zone (Local, Zonal, National). A 500g Local shipment costs ~₹30; the same item National is ~₹75. Heavier and farther = more.
10When does Flipkart pay sellers?
Flipkart pays on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays — 7–10 business days after dispatch. New sellers may wait longer for the first cycle. Settlement is what this calculator computes: selling price minus all fees, GST on fees, and TCS.
11How does this differ from the Amazon FBA Profit Calculator?
The fee structures are completely different — Amazon charges referral + FBA + storage fees with different India-specific GST handling. Use the Amazon FBA Profit Calculator for Amazon, this one for Flipkart. Run the same SKU through both to decide where it nets more.
12Can I use this for Flipkart Lite / Flipkart Plus plans?
Base fees are the same across most plans; what changes is your seller tier and visibility. For exact rates under Smart Fulfilment, FAssured, or FBF, confirm in Seller Hub. This calculator uses standard non-FBF rates from Flipkart's public fee schedule.
13What's the commission rate for my specific category?
The dropdown covers 20 common parent categories. Sub-category rates can differ — Jewellery (22%) vs Watches (15%) are both in fashion. For the exact rate, go to Seller Hub → Fee Structure, copy it, and paste into the Override Commission % field.
14How do I read a Flipkart settlement statement?
The statement shows: sales, marketplace fees, GST on fees, TCS, and adjustments (returns, RTO). Reconcile each order against this calculator's output — if settlement is lower than expected, look for RTO debits, undisclosed adjustments, or rate changes you missed.
15Can I claim GST input credit on Flipkart fees?
Yes. The 18% GST on Flipkart's fees is fully claimable as input tax credit (ITC) on your GST returns if you're registered. The TCS is also reflected against your GST liability. This calculator shows per-order economics — filing is a separate workflow.
16What if my commission rate isn't in the dropdown?
Set Override Commission % to your exact rate from Flipkart Seller Hub. The dropdown covers 95% of common sub-categories — use it as a starting point. For recently-revised or long-tail rates, the override gives you exact math and beats the dropdown.
17Is my data saved when I use this calculator?
No. Every calculation runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server or stored. You can share a link that reopens the calculator with the same inputs, but the numbers travel in the URL, not through us.
