COD returns quietly eat into ecommerce margins because the cost isn’t just a missed sale — it’s product cost, packaging and courier fees on both the outbound and return legs, all spent with nothing coming back.
How this calculation works
Loss per Return = Product Cost + Packaging + Forward Courier + Return Courier
Multiply that by your expected number of monthly returns (monthly orders xc3x97 return rate) to see the total monthly loss, and divide by total orders to see how much every single order xe2x80x94 delivered or not xe2x80x94 is really being weighed down by returns.
How to use this calculator
- Use your real average return/RTO rate, not an optimistic estimate.
- Enter monthly order volume to see the total rupee impact.
- Use the amortized loss per order when setting your selling price.
Notes
Rates and fees you enter above are yours to update xe2x80x94 we never hard-code commission or courier rates because they change.
