What the result means
A low refund rate preserves revenue quality. A rising refund rate often indicates product defects, unclear expectations, shipping damage, or customer service problems.
Refund rate = Refund amount ÷ Gross revenue × 100. Net revenue = Gross revenue − Refund amount − processing cost.
Compare refund rate by product and by refund reason. A blended account-level rate can hide a problem SKU.
Example calculation
If gross revenue is $45,000 and refunds total $1,100 with $150 processing cost, net revenue after refunds is $43,750 and refund rate is 2.44%.
Tips for better results
- Separate full and partial refunds.
- Track refund reason codes.
- Improve packaging and quality control.
- Clarify product dimensions and compatibility.
- Investigate spikes after listing or supplier changes.
