Estimated returns: your monthly orders multiplied by your return rate.
Revenue tied up in returns: estimated returns multiplied by your average order value, the revenue that returned orders represent before any refund is processed.
Operational cost: estimated returns multiplied by your cost per return, covering return shipping, restocking, quality inspection, and repackaging.
Annualized impact: your total monthly impact (revenue tied up plus operational cost) multiplied by twelve.
