Introduction
Commission Calculator is a free estimation tool for Indian eCommerce sellers to understand marketplace fees. When you sell on Amazon India, Flipkart, or Meesho, these platforms charge a commission (also called referral fee) as a percentage of your selling price. Commission rates vary significantly by product category, seller type, and promotional periods—ranging from as low as 5% for books to as high as 30% for certain fashion items. This calculator helps you quickly estimate these fees based on publicly available rate ranges. While exact rates depend on your seller agreement and change over time, this tool gives you a starting point for pricing decisions and profit planning. All calculations happen locally in your browser with complete privacy—no data is sent to any server or stored.

How This Tool Works
The Commission Calculator estimates marketplace fees based on publicly available commission rate ranges for different product categories. You enter your product selling price, select the marketplace (Amazon India, Flipkart, or Meesho), and choose your product category. The tool applies the typical commission percentage for that category-marketplace combination and calculates the estimated commission amount. You can also add optional fixed fees or payment gateway charges. The calculator instantly shows the total commission and your net amount after fees. All calculations happen in your browser using JavaScript with no data transmission to servers.
