Why top-line GMV conceals your real e-commerce profit
Most multichannel brands track top-line GMV across Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, and Meesho. However, each marketplace structures its fee schedule differently. Amazon charges referral fees ranging from 5% to 19% plus closing fees and weight-based shipping. Flipkart charges marketplace commissions, fixed fees, and collection charges. Myntra operates on higher commission percentages with logistics surcharges, while Meesho promotes 0% commission but shifts courier return shipping expenses directly onto sellers.
Without a unified contribution margin model, brands often discover that a product generating ₹10 lakh in gross sales on one channel is quietly losing ₹45,000 every single month after returns and hidden deductions are factored in.
The 6 elements of true contribution margin per SKU
To accurately evaluate whether a marketplace listing is viable, your calculation must incorporate all six layers of deductions:
- Marketplace Referral / Commission: The percentage fee charged on the customer sale price, subject to category-specific pricing slabs.
- Fixed & Closing Fees: Flat transaction fees debited per order (e.g. Amazon's ₹5 to ₹61 closing fee based on price band; Flipkart's ₹13 to ₹63 fixed fee).
- Forward Shipping & Weight Handling: Courier and handling charges based on dimensional or dead weight tiers (500g, 1kg, 2kg).
- Return & RTO Cost Provision: Reverse logistics fees, repackaging costs, and an inventory write-off allowance for damaged or soiled returns.
- Taxes on Fees (18% GST): The 18% GST levied by marketplaces on their commission and logistics services, which requires an active input tax credit (ITC) claim to recover.
- 1% TCS (Tax Collected at Source): The mandatory 1% deduction under Section 52 of the CGST Act withheld by marketplaces on net taxable supplies.
