What is the COD & RTO Loss Calculator for Online Sellers?
Cash on delivery (COD) brings more orders in India, but many COD parcels are refused and return to you. This is called RTO (Return to Origin). You pay shipping both ways, lose packaging, and some returned items are damaged.
Enter your orders, order value, COD share, RTO rate and courier charges. We show how much RTO costs you every month, the loss per returned order, your profit after RTO, and the RTO rate at which you stop making money. You can also test if giving a small discount for prepaid orders will increase your profit.
How to use it
- Enter monthly orders, average order value and product cost.
- Enter your COD share and RTO rates.
- Enter forward and return shipping, packaging and COD fees.
- Try a prepaid discount to see if it increases profit.
