RTO calculator for COD orders What are COD returns really costing you?
Every fake or unreachable cash-on-delivery order costs you shipping both ways, packaging and a sale that never happens. It hides on your P&L as a shipping cost, which is why nobody on your team owns it.

The maths
No magic numbers.
The calculator only multiplies the numbers you give it. The last slider is your own assumption about how many returns confirmation would stop. On the audit we replace every assumption with your actual order data.
- Parcels coming back
- Orders per month × share paid by COD × share of COD orders returned
- Lost to returns
- Parcels coming back × cost of one returned parcel
- Back in your pocket
- Lost to returns × the share you expect WhatsApp confirmation to stop
