PTR and PTS Calculator
The Indian pharmaceutical industry requires strict regulations, which create competitive market conditions that make pricing an essential element of successful business operations. All PCD Pharma Franchise partners, wholesalers and retailers need to learn product pricing details to succeed in their business operations.
Shiny Pharmaceuticals operates on the principle of transparent business practices, which provide our partners with access to essential business resources. The PTR and PTS Calculator allows users to perform GST calculations easily while providing them with an accurate method to calculate their profit margins within seconds.
What is PTR?
(Price to Retailer)
PTR stands for Price to Retailer. The rate represents how retail pharmacies and chemist shops acquire medicines from their stockists and distributors.
The PTR functions as an essential measurement because it calculates how much profit retailers will earn. In India, most pharmaceutical products have a standard retailer margin which usually follows the 20% rule for both ethical and PCD products, although actual margins can differ. The calculation of PTR starts with the MRP value from which the retailer's margin gets deducted, and then the GST component gets applied.
What is PTS?
(Price to Stockist)
PTS stands for Price to Stockist. This is the price at which a pharmaceutical company (like Shiny Pharmaceuticals) sells its products to a stockist or a distributor.
The PTS serves as the fundamental price for stockists who apply their standard markup of 8% to 10% before selling products to retailers at the PTR. For a franchise owner, knowing the PTS is vital for calculating the "Landing Cost" of the goods and planning the overall investment.
Why Use an Online PTR and PTS Calculator?
The process of manual price calculations in pharmaceuticals suffers from high error rates when it needs to handle GST calculations and the calculation of applicable customs duties.
The GST calculation method, which uses taxable value for assessment instead of direct MRP calculation, results in incorrect outcomes when users apply basic percentage deductions.
The manual process of calculating "Net Rate" after applying "10+1" and "Free Goods" offers becomes time-consuming.
Product categories that include Tablets, Syrups and Injections possess distinct margin structures that differ from each other.
The Shiny Pharmaceuticals Calculator enables your business to maintain accounting compliance with the established standards that governing organisations require in the pharmaceutical industry.

The Mathematical Formula Behind the Calculations
Standard industry formulas used for calculating pharmaceutical trade margins:
How to Calculate PTR
Price to RetailerPTR is calculated by removing the retailer margin and GST from the MRP.
How to Calculate PTS
Price to StockistNote: Stockist margin is always calculated as a percentage of the PTR.
Calculating Net Rate
Including Schemes (e.g., 10+1)Example: For a 10+1 scheme, use 1/10 (0.10) as the scheme fraction.

Understanding the Components
Each component in the pricing chain plays a distinct role. Here's what each element means:
Maximum Retail Price (MRP)
The MRP serves as the maximum amount that retailers are authorised to sell products to customers. The MRP in India includes all applicable taxes, which also cover the GST tax.
GST (Goods and Services Tax)
GST rates in the pharmaceutical industry range between 5% and 12% and 18%. The manufacturer must compute base prices (PTR/PTS) by deducting GST, which the manufacturer paid to the government, from the MRP.
Retailer and Stockist Margins
The intermediaries retain these percentages as their profit margins.
