Delivery Commission Calculator — Zomato & Swiggy

Commission rates change often and vary by restaurant and city — so instead of guessing, enter your own numbers from your latest payout statement to see exactly what you keep from an order. Compare two platforms side by side if you list on both.

Order Details

All rates default to blank on purpose — check your own payout statement or partner agreement and enter your actual commission %, since it varies by restaurant, city and contract.

Why This Calculator Doesn't Hardcode a Commission Rate

Zomato and Swiggy commission rates aren't fixed — they vary by restaurant, city, order type, and individual partner agreements, and both platforms have revised their rates over time. Any calculator that hardcodes "Zomato charges X%" is either outdated or oversimplified. This tool asks for your rate instead, from your own payout statement, so the result is accurate for your actual business.

What Actually Gets Deducted From a Delivery Order

  • Commission — the platform's cut of the order value, the largest deduction for most restaurants
  • GST on commission and platform fees — commonly charged on top of the commission itself
  • Packaging cost — containers, sealing, bags — a real per-order cost that dine-in orders don't carry
  • Discounts the restaurant funds — some promotions are platform-funded, others are restaurant-funded; only the latter reduces your payout
  • Food cost — the underlying ingredient cost of what was actually prepared and delivered

How to Find Your Actual Commission Rate

Check your restaurant partner dashboard's payout or settlement statement — it typically breaks down commission, GST, and any other deductions per order or per settlement cycle. Using that real figure, rather than a number quoted in an old article, is the only way to get an accurate picture of your delivery economics.

Why Delivery Margin Is Usually Thinner Than Dine-In

The same dish sold dine-in and via delivery can have meaningfully different margins — delivery carries commission and packaging cost that dine-in simply doesn't. Many restaurants respond by pricing delivery-menu items slightly higher than dine-in, building the commission cost into the price rather than absorbing it entirely into a shrinking margin. Whether that's the right call depends on how price-sensitive your delivery customers are relative to your dine-in guests.

Reducing Dependence on High-Commission Channels

Beyond negotiating commission (limited leverage for most independent restaurants) or adjusting delivery pricing, the other lever is shifting order volume toward lower-cost channels — direct WhatsApp or website ordering, or QR-based ordering for dine-in and takeaway — where no third-party commission applies at all.

FAQ

What commission rate do Zomato and Swiggy charge?
It varies by restaurant, city and contract — check your own payout statement rather than relying on a number from an article, since rates change and differ by partner.

Does GST apply on top of commission?
Typically yes — platforms commonly charge GST on their commission and fees, which adds to the total deducted from the order value.

Should delivery menu prices match dine-in prices?
Many restaurants price delivery items somewhat higher to offset commission and packaging cost rather than taking the full hit to margin — whether that works depends on your customers' price sensitivity.
