Shipping Cost Calculator

No — this uses a flat reference base rate and per-kg rate to illustrate how zone and weight affect shipping cost. Actual rates vary by courier, so compare against your courier's published rate card or an aggregator like Shiprocket or Delhivery for real pricing.

It's a simple 1-5 distance tier (1 = nearest, 5 = farthest) — the calculator applies a bigger multiplier at higher zones. Your actual courier's zone definitions may use different boundaries.

Use it as a rough planning estimate, then verify against your actual courier's rate card before setting customer-facing prices — see the Shipping Markup Calculator once you know your real cost.

No — it only uses the weight you enter. If your package is large but light, check the Dimensional Weight Calculator too, since couriers bill on whichever weight (actual or dimensional) is higher.
