How it works
Methodology & formulas
This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.
Calculation steps
- 1Product total = productCostPerUnit × quantity × exchangeRate.
- 2Dutiable value = productTotal + freight + insurance.
- 3Duties = dutiableValue × customsDutyRate%.
- 4Total landed = productTotal + freight + insurance + duties + broker + port + inland + additional.
- 5Landed per unit = totalLanded / quantity.
- 6Retail at 40% margin = landedPerUnit / (1 - 0.40).
Formulas
- Product total = unitCost × qty × exchangeRate
- Dutiable = productTotal + freight + insurance
- Duty = dutiable × dutyRate
- Total landed = productTotal + freight + insurance + duty + broker + port + inland + additional
- Landed per unit = total / qty
Important assumptions
- Duties calculated on CIF value = product total + freight + insurance (common method).
- Exchange rate multiplies product cost total if supplier in foreign currency.
- No sales tax or VAT included; add separately if applicable.
- Retail for 40% margin formula assumes margin on landed cost excluding channel fees; add marketplace fees separately.
Worked example
Importing 500 units at $12
$12/unit x 500 = $6000 product. Freight $1800, insurance $75, duty 5.5% on $7875 = $433.13, broker $150, port $250, inland $350. Total = $9058.13 landed, $18.12/unit. Multiplier 1.51x. Retail at 40% = $30.20.
