Total Landed Cost Calculator for Imports

The Total Landed Cost Calculator reveals the true cost of importing a product, so you can price, budget and compare suppliers accurately. Too many buyers quote the FOB price and forget everything that happens between the factory gate and their warehouse — freight, insurance, duty, taxes, port charges, brokerage and inland transport.

Enter your consignment details, the FOB or CIF value, and the full list of import-related costs, and the calculator works out the total landed cost, the landed cost per unit, the duty and tax components, and what each element adds as a share of the total. This is the number you build your margin on.

• FOB or CIF basis: Enter either the FOB value or the full CIF value as your starting point.
• Complete cost breakdown: Freight, insurance, duty, tax/GST, port charges, inland transport, brokerage and agent fees.
• Duty & tax logic: Computes duty on the assessable value and tax on value plus duty.
• Per-unit and total: See both the consignment total and the cost per unit.
• Cost-share analysis: See what each cost adds as a percentage of the total landed cost.
• Report-only export: Print or save a PDF containing only the final cost breakdown, not the form.
• Free and private: All processing stays in your browser.

1. Enter the consignment value — either FOB or CIF, and the number of units.
2. Add the freight, insurance, duty rate, tax rate and port charges.
3. Add inland transport, brokerage and any agent fees in your local currency.
4. Review the total landed cost and the cost per unit.
5. Use the cost-share breakdown to see where your money goes.
6. Export the report — the print/PDF output contains only the final cost breakdown.

Example 1 – Garment importer: A buyer imports 1,000 garments at FOB 5 USD each. After 800 USD freight, insurance, 10% duty and 18% GST on value plus duty, plus port and inland costs, the calculator shows a landed cost per unit of about 8.90 USD. The buyer uses this figure to set the retail price and margin.

Example 2 – Sourcing comparison: Two suppliers quote the same unit price, but one ships closer with lower freight. The calculator reveals the nearer supplier has a noticeably lower landed cost per unit, guiding the sourcing decision beyond the sticker price.

• Price with confidence: Base your margin on the true cost, not the invoice value.
• Compare suppliers fairly: Reveal real differences in freight, duty and handling.
• Budget accurately: Capture every cost element, including the ones often forgotten.
• Clean output: Export only the final cost breakdown for your pricing file.
• 100% free and private: No sign-up, no upload, runs locally in your browser.
