Meesho seller income calculator
The delivered orders you need each month are your income goal plus your fixed costs, divided by what you keep per delivered order. Type yours to see the orders a day, and how many to ship once some come back as returns or RTO.
Not sure what you keep? Work it out in the Meesho profit calculator. It already takes off returns, RTO and packing.
Of your orders, how many come back
Type the same RTO and return % you used in the profit calculator. Here they only turn delivered orders into orders to ship.
Delivered orders you need
Type your income goal and what you keep per delivered order. Sample: to keep ₹25,000 a month with ₹6,000 of fixed costs, at ₹42 kept per delivered order, you need about 739 delivered orders a month, about 25 a day. With 20% RTO and 15% customer returns, ship about 37 a day.

Where the numbers come from
What you keep per delivered order is the answer of the Meesho profit calculator. Type your own price, cost, packing and return rates there first. It already takes off the return courier and the packing of orders that come back, so this page does not take them off again.
RTO and customer returns use the same bases as the profit calculator: RTO is a share of the orders you ship, customer returns a share of the orders that reached the buyer. Don't know your return %? Work it out by product. A month here is 30 days, and every count is rounded up.

Questions Meesho sellers ask
How many orders a day do I need to make ₹25,000 a month on Meesho?
It depends on what you keep per delivered order. Sample: you keep ₹42 per delivered order and pay ₹6,000 a month in fixed costs. ₹25,000 + ₹6,000 = ₹31,000, and ₹31,000 ÷ ₹42 = 738.1, so you need about 739 delivered orders a month, about 25 a day. With 20% RTO and 15% customer returns, 68 of every 100 shipped stay delivered, so ship about 37 a day. Type your own numbers above to see yours.
What should I type as "what I keep per delivered order"?
The Meesho profit calculator's "You keep, per order delivered", worked out with your own price, cost and return rates. It is after your product cost, GST, packing, the return courier and ads, with the packing and courier of orders that came back spread over the ones that stayed delivered. So returns are not taken off again here.
What counts as fixed costs?
Monthly costs that do not change with your orders: rent, internet, a phone plan, a helper's pay. Costs that come with each order, like the product and its packing, are already in what you keep per order, so leave them out here.
Why do I need to ship more than the delivered orders?
Because some come back. An RTO never reaches the buyer, and a customer return comes back after delivery. Neither stays delivered. In the sample, to end up with 739 delivered orders at 20% RTO and 15% returns you ship about 1,087 a month.
Is this what I will earn?
No. It works back from your goal and your own numbers; it does not predict sales. If your price, costs or return rates change, the orders you need change too.
Is income tax in this?
No. What you keep per order in the profit calculator is after the GST on your sales, not after income tax. Income tax is worked out on your whole year's profit, so it is not part of this sum. Ask your CA how much to keep aside for it.
