Your COD margin has three leaks. Put a number on them.
Estimate refused-delivery costs, cash tied up with couriers, and ad waste from incomplete purchase signals. No signup. No store access. The math stays in your browser.
Three numbers. One honest estimate.
Orders per month — Completed and attempted orders across all payment methods.
Average order value — Enter main units. We convert once to integer minor units before calculating or sharing.
Region — This pre-fills a conservative regional RTO and a common currency.
COD share of volume — 100% is the safe default for a pure-COD store. Lower it for a mixed store.
Return-to-origin rate — Typical for your region — adjust if you know yours.
How it works
Runs locally — The math stays in your browser.
Conservative defaults — Assumptions default to the conservative low end of published ranges.
Any real currency — Including zero- and three-decimal currencies.
No order data leaves this device until you explicitly create a share link or request the PDF. COD Guard produces an ESTIMATE for guidance only — not financial, tax, or accounting advice. Figures are modeled from adjustable industry-range assumptions defaulted to the conservative low end, not from your store's actual data, so your real numbers will differ. Most profit and analytics tools do not model COD economics at all; this tool is a first pass, not an audit.
