Question 1

How is the Trendyol commission calculated?

Accepted Answer

The Trendyol commission is found by multiplying your sale price by the commission rate: Commission amount = Sale price × (Commission rate ÷ 100). For example, on a 500 TL product a 20% commission rate equals 100 TL, leaving you a net earning of 400 TL. Because commission rates vary by category, campaign and your seller agreement, we recommend entering your own current rate into the calculator above; the starting rates shown are estimates only.

Question 2

How do you find the marketplace net earning?

Accepted Answer

Net earning is found by subtracting the commission from the sale price: Net earning = Sale price − Commission amount. If VAT is also charged on the commission, you need to deduct that amount as well. By checking the deduct-VAT option in our Commission Calculator, you can also factor in the VAT on the commission.

Question 3

What is desi (volumetric weight) and how is it calculated?

Accepted Answer

Desi is the measure of the volume a shipment occupies, converted into weight. Volumetric desi is calculated with the formula Volumetric desi = (Width × Length × Height) ÷ 3000, where the dimensions are in centimetres. Carriers set the fee based on whichever is greater: the calculated volumetric desi or the shipment's actual weight (kg). For example, a 30×20×15 cm box is (30×20×15) ÷ 3000 = 3 desi; if it weighs 2 kg, the shipping desi is taken as 3.

Question 4

How is VAT calculated?

Accepted Answer

To add VAT: VAT amount = Amount × (VAT rate ÷ 100), VAT-inclusive amount = Amount + VAT. To separate VAT out of a VAT-inclusive amount: VAT-exclusive amount = Amount ÷ (1 + VAT rate ÷ 100), VAT amount = Inclusive amount − Exclusive amount. For example, adding 20% VAT to 1,000 TL gives 200 TL VAT and a total of 1,200 TL; and from a VAT-inclusive amount of 1,200 TL, an exclusive amount of 1,000 TL is separated out.

Question 5

How do you calculate percentages?

Accepted Answer

To find the percentage of a number: Result = Number × (Percent ÷ 100). To find what percentage one number is of another: (Part ÷ Whole) × 100. For the percentage change between two values: ((New value − Old value) ÷ Old value) × 100. For example, 15% of 200 is 30.
