Short Answer
Daraz commission is a percentage of the item price, set by your product's category. In the published table it runs from 0 to 25.55 percent excluding VAT, and top-level categories range from 2.95 to 20 percent. On the statements we checked, 15 percent VAT is added, so an 18.5 percent rate costs about 21.3 percent.
Daraz commission is a percentage of the item price, and the percentage is decided by the category your product sits in. There is no single Daraz commission rate. A grocery item and a watch can differ by more than 15 percentage points.
This page answers one question: how much commission will you actually pay on a sale? For every other fee on a statement, read the overview of Daraz seller fees. To look up your own category, open the Daraz commission list.
I have sold on Daraz since 2015 and run 14 Daraz stores. The published rates below come from Daraz University. The VAT effect comes from reconciling our own weekly statements.
What Is the Commission Range on Daraz?
The published table has 7,840 rows, one per category path, from broad categories down to very specific ones. Across all rows with a rate:
- The lowest rate is 0 percent (the Charity and Donation category, which is not a normal selling category). Among normal selling categories the lowest top-level rate is Kids' and Baby Fashion at 2.95 percent.
- The highest is 25.55 percent.
- The middle value (median) is 12.5 percent across all 7,840 rows. The category pages leave out the charity rows and the special digital products branch, so they show a slightly higher median of 12.8 percent.
Most sellers sit between roughly 4 and 20 percent. The first level of the table gives the quickest picture:
| Top-level category | Commission (excl. VAT) |
|---|---|
| Watches, Sunglasses and Jewellery | 20% |
| Fashion | 18.5% |
| Bags and Travel | 17% |
| Kitchen and Dining | 14.8% |
| Furniture and Decor | 14.8% |
| Health and Beauty | 14.44% |
| Mobiles and Tablets | 12.9% |
| Mother and Baby | 10.14% |
| Toys and Games | 9.55% |
| Computers and Laptops | 8.6% |
| Stationery and Craft | 4.8% |
| Groceries | 4.44% |
| Home Appliances | 4% |
| Kids' and Baby Fashion | 2.95% |

Two categories at the top level, Home and Living and Toys, Kids and Babies, have no rate of their own. Their rates sit on the sub-categories below them.
Is the Rate the Same for Every Product in a Category?
No. A top-level rate is only a starting point. Many sub-categories have their own number, and a product is charged the rate of the exact category path you listed it under. Two items that both feel like "Fashion" can land in different branches with different rates.
So do not copy a top-level number into your pricing. Find the deepest category that matches your product in the commission list, and use that. Product-level pages show the sub-category spread for fashion, health and beauty, groceries, toys and watches.
What Does Commission Apply To?
Commission is charged on the item price. It is not charged on the shipping the buyer pays. On a multi-quantity order it applies to the price of every unit, so selling 3 units at Rs 1,000 is a Rs 3,000 base.
The table in Daraz University is stated excluding VAT. That is the key to the next section.
How Much Commission Do I Really Pay with VAT?
On the statements we checked, 15 percent VAT is charged on top of commission, so the commission line is VAT-inclusive in effect. To get the true rate, multiply the published rate by 1.15.
| Published rate (excl. VAT) | Effective rate with VAT | Cost on a Rs 1,000 item |
|---|---|---|
| 4.44% | 5.106% | Rs 51.06 |
| 12.9% | 14.835% | Rs 148.35 |
| 14.44% | 16.606% | Rs 166.06 |
| 18.5% | 21.275% | Rs 212.75 |
| 20% | 23% | Rs 230.00 |
| 25.55% | 29.38% | Rs 293.83 |
Any figure from a spreadsheet or video that ignores VAT will understate your real commission by about a seventh.
Example: Commission on One Order
Example only. "Store A" sells a phone accessory listed under Mobiles and Tablets at 12.9 percent. The price is made up.
| Step | Amount (Rs) |
|---|---|
| Item price | 3,000.00 |
| Commission at 12.9% | 387.00 |
| VAT at 15% on commission | 58.05 |
| Commission cost with VAT | 445.05 |
The effective cost is 14.835 percent of the price. If Store A had budgeted 12.9 percent, it would have been about Rs 58 short on this one order.
How Does Commission Fit with the Other Fees?
Commission is the largest single fee for most categories, but it is not the whole cost. The payment fee, item handling fee, shipping charges, VAT and withheld taxes all come on top. Each has its own page:
- Daraz payment fee: 2.25 percent plus VAT on the item price.
- Daraz handling fee: a per-item amount.
- Daraz shipping charges for sellers: charge, discount and VAT.
- How to calculate profit on Daraz: all lines in one calculation.
How Do I Check My Commission on a Statement?
- Pick one delivered order on your weekly statement.
- Note the item price and the commission line for it.
- Divide the commission line by the item price.
- Compare with the published rate for the product's category multiplied by 1.15.
- If the result is different, check which category the product is actually listed under in Seller Center.
If you manage several stores, repeating this per store takes time. Seller's Revolution finance reports put fees from all your stores in one view.
FAQ
What Is the Commission on Daraz for Sellers?
It depends on the category. The published table runs from 0 to 25.55 percent excluding VAT, with top-level categories between 2.95 and 20 percent. With 15 percent VAT on top, as seen on the statements we checked, the real cost is the rate times 1.15.
Does Daraz Take Commission on Shipping?
On the statements we checked, commission was calculated on the item price only. The shipping a buyer pays is handled through separate shipping lines, which are explained in the guide on shipping charges for sellers.
Is the Daraz Commission Rate Fixed?
Daraz publishes the table with an effective date and updates it from time to time. The version used here is effective 1 June 2026 and was updated on 27 October 2026. Check Daraz University for the latest before you set prices.
Why Is My Statement Commission Higher Than the Table?
The table is excluding VAT. The statement commission is VAT-inclusive in effect, so it will be 15 percent higher than the table rate times the price. If it is higher than that, the product may be listed in a different category.
