How much retail profit margin can I make on wholesale sarees and kurtis from Surat, Ahmedabad, and Jaipur?

To price your stock profitably, never calculate margin on the factory ex-mill price alone—always calculate your True Landed Cost per Piece first:

1. Base Wholesale Price + GST (5% or 18%) minus any Cash Discount (Vatav).
2. Packing, Box & Transport/LR Cost: Typically ₹8 to ₹25 per piece including local tempo delivery.
3. Deadstock & Alteration Buffer: Add 5% to 8% to cover slow-moving sizes (like M or XXL in a 4-piece kurti set).
