How Daraz deductions are calculated
- Commission = selling price × your category rate.
- Payment fee = selling price × 2.25%.
- Handling fee = a fixed amount per item.
- Sales tax on fees = (commission + payment fee + handling fee) × provincial rate (16% Punjab/ICT).
- Income tax withheld = selling price × 1% (prepaid) or 2% (COD), more if you are not a filer.
- Payout = selling price − all of the above − any shipping you pay. Profit = payout − your cost.
Worked example
A phone cover sold for Rs 2,500 (mobile accessories, 12.9%), cash on delivery, filer, cost Rs 1,500, handling Rs 20.
- Commission: 2,500 × 12.9% = Rs 322.50; payment fee: 2,500 × 2.25% = Rs 56.25; handling Rs 20
- Sales tax on fees: (322.50 + 56.25 + 20) × 16% = Rs 63.80
- Income tax withheld: 2,500 × 2% = Rs 50
- Daraz pays you: 2,500 − 512.55 = Rs 1,987.45, so profit = Rs 487 (19.5% margin)
