Estimate using Meesho's published fee structure, last verified October 2026: 0% commission, forward shipping by weight slab and delivery zone (indicative midpoints of the panel ranges), a fixed platform fee of roughly Rs 25-30, a collection fee near 2% of the sale price, and 18% GST on marketplace fees. Reverse shipping on returns runs roughly Rs 150-165 and up depending on the assigned courier. TCS (1%) and TDS (0.1%) are deducted from your payout but are refundable tax credits, so they are excluded from the profit math. Actual shipping varies by courier allocation in the Meesho Supplier Panel. Confirm current rates in the panel before finalizing prices.

How it works

Meesho's 0% commission headline is real, and it confuses a lot of new sellers. The catch is that Meesho makes its money elsewhere: a forward shipping fee charged by weight slab and delivery zone, a fixed platform fee of roughly Rs 25 to 30 per order, a collection or payment fee near 2% of the sale price, and 18% GST on top of all those marketplace fees. Add reverse-shipping costs on returns, which run roughly Rs 150 to 165 per return and more on heavier parcels, and the true cost of selling on Meesho lands around 10 to 15% of the sale price. That is still cheap compared to Amazon or Flipkart, but it is not free, and sellers who price on the commission number alone end up working for nothing.\n\nThis calculator models the full stack for Meesho India. Enter your sale price and item cost, then pick your packed weight and delivery zone to estimate forward shipping from the current rate card slabs. The fixed platform fee and collection percentage are editable so you can match your own Supplier Panel figures, GST at 18% is applied automatically to the marketplace fees, and the return-rate input spreads the reverse-shipping cost across orders so your profit reflects reality in return-heavy categories like apparel, where 10 to 12% of orders commonly come back.\n\nTwo details catch sellers out. First, the forward shipping you see is an indicative midpoint of Meesho's panel ranges, because Meesho assigns the courier and the exact rate moves with weight, zone, and pincode; use your panel's figures for final pricing. Second, TCS at 1% and TDS at 0.1% are deducted from your payout but are refundable tax credits, so this calculator shows them separately and keeps them out of the profit math, unlike many tools that silently treat them as lost money.\n\nRates verified October 2026 against current seller guides and the Meesho Supplier Panel rate card reporting. Sponsored ads, quality penalties, late dispatch charges, and weight-discrepancy fees are not included. Confirm current rates in your Supplier Panel before finalizing prices, and re-check before the festive season when logistics rates move.

Frequently asked questions

What commission does Meesho charge in 2026?

Zero. Meesho still charges 0% commission across categories as of 2026, confirmed after its December 2025 IPO. What you pay instead is shipping, a fixed platform fee, a collection fee, and GST on those fees.

How much is Meesho shipping per order?

It depends on packed weight and delivery zone. Indicative ranges: up to 500g costs roughly Rs 35 to 45 local, Rs 45 to 70 regional, and Rs 55 to 90 national; heavier slabs run up to roughly Rs 160 nationally. The exact rate comes from your Supplier Panel.

What is the fixed platform fee on Meesho?

A flat per-order fee of roughly Rs 25 to 30, before 18% GST. It is separate from shipping and the collection fee, and it applies even though commission is zero.

Are TCS and TDS on Meesho lost money?

No. TCS at 1% of net taxable supplies and TDS at 0.1% under section 194-O are deducted from your payout but are refundable tax credits claimed in your GST return and income tax return. They are advance tax, not a fee.

What does a customer return cost on Meesho?

You pay reverse shipping based on weight and whichever courier Meesho assigned, roughly Rs 150 to 165 per return and up to Rs 200+ on heavier parcels, plus GST. RTOs carry no reverse shipping fee. Model returns explicitly if you sell apparel or other return-heavy categories.
