Price Adjustment Results
How to Use This Tool
Enter your base product price and quantity, then select the current and new Incoterms shipping terms. Input any additional costs like freight, insurance, and duty rates. Click Calculate to see the adjusted price per unit, total cost impact, margin change, and new total price. Use Reset to clear all fields.
Formula and Logic
The calculator adjusts prices by adding cost differences between Incoterms. For example, moving from EXW to FOB adds freight costs; from FOB to CIF adds freight and insurance; from CIF to DDP adds duties. The adjusted price per unit is base price plus cost impact divided by quantity. Total impact multiplies cost impact by quantity. Margin change shows percentage difference from base price.
Practical Notes
- Always verify freight and insurance rates with your logistics provider for accuracy.
- Consider market benchmarks: typical freight costs vary by route and volume.
- For e-commerce, factor in DDP terms to avoid customer surprises with duties.
- Use this tool to test pricing strategies before finalizing trade contracts.
- Monitor duty rates as they can change with trade agreements.
