Landed Cost Calculator

Calculate the true cost per unit after supplier price, freight, duty, import tax, inspection, packaging, payment/FX fees and other shipment costs.

Customs rules differ: duty and import-tax bases vary by country, product classification and shipment structure. Use the editable customs value and rates below rather than treating the defaults as official tax advice.

Total landed cost = products + freight + duty + tax + other shipment costs
Landed cost / unit = total landed cost ÷ units
Target price = landed cost / unit ÷ (1 − target margin)

How the Landed Cost Calculator Works

The calculator starts with quantity multiplied by supplier cost per unit, then adds shipment-level expenses such as freight, duty, import tax, inspection, packaging and payment fees. The total is divided by units to estimate the true landed cost per unit.

Supplier Price Is Not the Same as Landed Cost

A product quoted at $8 per unit can cost materially more after freight, customs and handling. Using landed cost in your pricing and margin models helps prevent underpricing inventory.

Customs Value Is Editable for a Reason

Different jurisdictions and products can use different customs valuation and tax rules. Enter the customs value relevant to your actual shipment and verify rates with the appropriate customs authority or adviser.

Example: 100 units at $8 each cost $800 from the supplier. If freight, duty and other shipment expenses add $400, landed cost becomes $12 per unit rather than $8.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should freight be included in landed cost?

Yes, if you want a true inventory cost that reflects getting the product to the point where it is ready for sale.

Should I include inspection and packaging?

Include them if they are required to prepare the shipment or product for sale and you want those costs allocated across units.

Does this calculate official customs duty?

No. It applies the duty and tax percentages you enter to the customs value you enter. Verify official rates and valuation rules separately.

Can I use the landed cost in the Product Pricing Calculator?

Yes. Use landed cost per unit as the product cost when pricing inventory for a target margin.
