Zepto margin calculator
See the margin left on each unit sold through Zepto once platform margin, handling, freight and visibility spends are covered.
How it is calculated
- Net sales = selling price ÷ (1 + GST rate). The GST collected belongs to the government, so it is excluded from profit.
- Marketplace fees = selling price × (commission + payment fee) + fixed, shipping and storage fees.
- GST on fees is counted as a cost only when you cannot claim it back as input credit.
- Returns cost = return rate × cost per return, spread across every unit sold.
- Profit = net sales − fees − product, freight, packaging, ad and return costs. Margin = profit ÷ net sales. ROI = profit ÷ product and freight cost.
- Break-even price is the selling price at which profit is exactly zero with the same fees and costs.
