About Mandi Commission Calculator

Regulated market charges are levied as percentages of the sale value: the commission agent's fee, the market committee fee and any cess or development levy. Netting them off the sale value gives the proceeds credited to the seller.

Formula

Market charges

Charges = sale value x (commission % + market fee % + cess %); net = sale value - charges

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who legally pays the market fee?

In most states the buyer pays the market fee and the seller pays the commission, but practice varies and it is often passed on. Check the notified rules for your market.

Can I avoid mandi charges by selling elsewhere?

Direct and electronic trading platforms often carry lower charges, but verify the platform is licensed and that payment is guaranteed before switching.
