Your first calculation in ten minutes

The shortest path: what to fill in to see the landed cost and a selling price.

The calculator works out the full cost of a shipment: from the factory price in China to the shelf price in Russia. Four steps are enough for the first calculation.

Step 1. Goods

Click “Add item”. Enter the name, the price per unit in yuan (from the invoice or your correspondence with the supplier) and how many units are in the shipment. If you know the size and weight of one box, fill them in: the container calculation will be more accurate. If you do not, leave them as they are.

Step 2. Logistics

Choose a route on the “Logistics” tab: by sea, by rail or by road. The rates are already inside — the service owner maintains them. If your route is not there, enter the delivery price manually.

Step 3. Exchange rate

By default the central bank rate is used. Know your own bank rate? Enter it in the rate field — the calculation recalculates at once.

Step 4. Click “Calculate”

You will see the cost of one unit and of the whole shipment, the costs broken down by block, and the price at which selling is profitable. Every block can be expanded to show what it is made of.
