Estimates only, based on the numbers and improvement assumptions you entered. Prepaid orders are assumed to deliver, and returned stock is assumed to be resellable — so a real month is unlikely to be better than this.

Where your COD money is leaking

Your current numbers show where COD is costing your store the most.

RTO loss

₹54,740

Freight both ways, packaging, and the ad spend that won the order.

Cancelled COD orders

₹10,080

Ad spend on orders killed before they ever shipped.

Other COD costs

₹8,694

The courier's fee for collecting cash on orders that did deliver.

The first two are the ₹64,820 of wasted spend above. The collection fee is what COD costs even when the order works, so it is shown separately rather than counted as a loss.

How COD King can help

    This calculator does not estimate a rupee value for COD rules. They reduce how much risky COD you take on, which changes the inputs above rather than the outputs.
