    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

    1. 1Product total = productCostPerUnit × quantity × exchangeRate.
    2. 2Dutiable value = productTotal + freight + insurance.
    3. 3Duties = dutiableValue × customsDutyRate%.
    4. 4Total landed = productTotal + freight + insurance + duties + broker + port + inland + additional.
    5. 5Landed per unit = totalLanded / quantity.
    6. 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.

    Product $6000 + freight $1800 + insurance $75 = $7875 CIF. Duty 5.5% = $433.13. Add broker $150 + port $250 + inland $350 = $9058.13 total landed. Per unit $18.12 is 1.51x supplier cost. To make 40% on landed you need $30.20 retail before marketplace fees. If you sell at $29.99 you are below 40% even before Etsy 6.5% and shipping.
