About Export Pricing Calculator (FOB / CIF Pricing Builder)

The Export Pricing Calculator (FOB / CIF Pricing Builder) turns a simple ex-works cost into a professional export quotation for whichever Incoterm 2020 basis your buyer requests. Exporters lose money and credibility by quoting one price basis and then discovering the buyer expects another — or by guessing at the freight and insurance that separate FOB from CIF.

Enter your ex-works cost per unit and the costs to move the goods through each stage — packing, inland freight, export formalities, port handling, ocean or air freight and marine insurance — and the calculator derives your EXW, FOB, CFR and CIF prices, with the per-unit price for each. Quote with confidence, whichever term the customer asks for.

Features

  • Incoterm progression: Derives EXW, FOB, CFR and CIF prices from a single set of inputs.
  • Cost-layer breakdown: Packing, inland freight, export formalities, port handling, freight and insurance.
  • Sea or air basis: Choose ocean or air freight to shape the progression.
  • Insurance options: Enter a fixed insurance amount or a percentage (e.g. LC 110% basis).
  • Per-unit clarity: See the price per unit at every term.
  • Report-only export: Print or save a PDF containing only the final price breakdown.
  • Free and private: All processing stays in your browser.

How to Use

  1. Enter the ex-works cost per unit and the currency.
  2. Add packing, inland freight and export formalities to reach the FOB basis.
  3. Add port/terminal handling.
  4. Add ocean or air freight to get CFR, and insurance to get CIF.
  5. Read the EXW, FOB, CFR and CIF prices per unit.
  6. Export the report — the print/PDF output contains only the final price breakdown.

Examples

Example 1 – Quoting FOB to a buyer: An exporter has a 5.00 ex-works cost, 0.50 packing, 0.80 inland freight, 0.20 export formalities and 0.30 port handling. The tool builds a FOB price of 6.80 per unit and adds ocean freight of 0.90 and insurance to give CIF, so the exporter can quote FOB or CIF accurately to any buyer.

Example 2 – LC requiring CIF 110%: A buyer’s LC requires a CIF price with insurance at 110%. The exporter enters the freight and sets insurance as a percentage; the tool shows the CIF price and the insured amount, matching the LC requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is FOB and how is it calculated?
FOB (Free On Board) means the seller delivers the goods on board the vessel at the named port of shipment, so the price covers the goods, packing, inland freight to the port, export formalities and port handling — but not ocean freight or insurance. FOB price = ex-works cost + packing + inland freight + export formalities + port/terminal charges.
What is CIF and how is it calculated?
CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) means the seller pays the freight and insurance to bring the goods to the named port of destination. CIF price = FOB price + ocean/air freight + marine insurance. The buyer bears the risk after the goods pass over the ship’s rail, but the seller pays for freight and insurance to the destination port.
What is the difference between FOB, CFR and CIF?
FOB covers costs to load the goods on the vessel. CFR (Cost and Freight) adds the freight to the destination port but not insurance. CIF adds both freight and insurance to CFR. So: FOB < CFR = FOB + freight < CIF = CFR + insurance. The seller’s price increases along this progression.
What is EXW (Ex Works)?
EXW means the seller makes the goods available at their premises and the buyer bears all costs and risks from that point, including inland transport, export formalities, freight and insurance. EXW is the lowest price basis. All other terms build from it by adding the relevant costs.
How do I price when quoting different Incoterms?
Build your price layer by layer from EXW, adding packing, inland freight, export formalities, port handling, ocean/air freight and insurance to reach the term your buyer requested. Always be explicit about which Incoterm and port you are quoting, and use the same Incoterm as in the contract and LC.
How should I set the marine insurance amount in CIF?
Under an LC, insurance is commonly for the CIF value plus 10% (110%). The insurance cost is usually a small percentage of the CIF value. The tool lets you enter either a fixed insurance amount or a percentage of the freight-inclusive value.
