Flipkart Fee Calculator

Flipkart charges four fees per order: a commission (a % of selling price that varies by category, from 2% on mobiles to 22% on jewellery), a fixed fee (a flat amount by price slab and seller tier — typically ₹20–₹120), a shipping fee (by weight and zone — typically ₹30–₹260), and a collection fee (2% prepaid / 2.5% COD). On top of these, India's GST adds 18% on the total fees, and Flipkart deducts 0.5% TCS on the selling price. This calculator computes every component for any product.

Commission = selling price × your category's commission rate. Rates are category-specific: 2% for smartphones, 5–8% for most electronics, 10–12% for home & kitchen, 15–17% for fashion and footwear, up to 22% for jewellery. Verify your exact sub-category rate in Seller Hub → Fee Structure — sub-categories vary. This calculator gives you a 20+-option dropdown plus an override field for the exact value.

A flat per-order amount that depends on two things: the price slab (≤₹300, ₹301–₹750, or >₹750) and your seller tier. A Bronze seller pays ~₹50/₹80/₹120 by slab; Silver pays ~₹35/₹50/₹70; Gold pays ~₹20/₹25/₹35. Higher tiers reward consistent performance (faster dispatch, low cancellations) with materially lower per-order fees.

Yes. The collection fee is typically 2% of the selling price for prepaid orders and 2.5% for COD. Most calculators ask you to toggle between them; this one blends across your actual COD share so a seller with 30% COD pays the correct mix, not an inflated single-mode estimate. Beyond fees, COD also brings significant RTO (Return-to-Origin) risk, which compounds the real cost.

India's GST is charged at 18% on every Flipkart marketplace fee — commission, fixed fee, shipping fee, and collection fee combined. The selling price itself is GST-inclusive (you pay your product GST separately). You can claim the 18% on fees as input GST credit when filing your GST returns, but in cash-flow terms it's deducted from your settlement immediately.

TCS (Tax Collected at Source) is a tax Flipkart withholds from your selling price under Section 52 of the CGST Act. It dropped from 1% to **0.5%** effective July 10, 2024 — so any tool quoting 1% is stale. The TCS is reflected against your GST return when filing, and you can claim it back if no GST liability is outstanding.

Flipkart's Power Seller programme has three tiers based on operational metrics — dispatch speed, cancellation rate, and order count. Upgrading from Bronze → Silver typically saves about ₹15 per order on fixed fee; Silver → Gold saves another ₹15–₹35. Across thousands of orders, that's real money. Higher tiers also get better visibility in search results.

Flipkart Smart Logistics charges by weight band and shipping zone. Standard bands are ≤500g, 500g–1kg, 1–5kg, and >5kg. Standard zones are Local (within city), Zonal (within region), and National (across India). A 500g Local shipment costs ~₹30; the same item National is ~₹75. Heavier and farther = more.

Flipkart releases settlements on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The trigger is 7–10 business days after dispatch (not delivery). For new sellers, the first few settlement cycles can take longer while Flipkart verifies dispatch and customer satisfaction. The settlement amount is what this calculator computes — selling price minus all fees, GST on fees, and TCS.

The fee structures are completely different — Amazon charges a referral fee + FBA fulfilment fee + storage fee, with no separate fixed/collection fees and no marketplace-side GST (because Amazon is set up differently for India sellers). Use the Amazon FBA Profit Calculator for Amazon, this one for Flipkart, and run the same SKU through both to decide where it's more profitable to list.

The base fees are the same across most plans — what changes is your seller tier and the visibility you get. For exact rate cards under specific programmes (Smart Fulfilment, FAssured, FBF), confirm in Seller Hub. This calculator uses the standard non-FBF rates as published in Flipkart's public fee schedule.

The dropdown has the 20 most common parent categories with representative rates. Sub-category rates within each can differ — Jewellery (22%) and Watches (15%) sit in the same broad fashion family. The most accurate path: go to Seller Hub → Fee Structure → search your SKU, copy the exact rate, and paste it into the Override Commission % field of this calculator.

The statement shows: gross sales, marketplace fees (commission + fixed + shipping + collection), GST on fees, TCS, any adjustments (returns, RTO, disputes), and the net settlement. Reconcile each order against this calculator's output — if your actual settlement is materially lower than expected, look for RTO debits, undisclosed adjustments, or rate changes you may not be aware of.

Yes. The 18% GST that Flipkart charges on its fees is fully claimable as input GST credit (ITC) on your GST returns, provided you're GST-registered. The TCS Flipkart deducts is also reflected against your GST liability. Talk to your accountant for filing specifics — this calculator focuses on the per-order economics; tax filing is a separate workflow.

Set "Override Commission %" to your exact rate from Flipkart Seller Hub. The category dropdown is a convenience that covers 95% of common sub-categories at representative rates, but for the long tail or recently-revised rates, the override gives you exact math. The dropdown rates are sourced from Flipkart's published rate card; the override beats them.
