How the Landed Cost Calculator works
Landed cost is what a unit costs by the time it sits in Amazon's warehouse. Sellers who use the factory price alone routinely overestimate profit by 20–40%.
Formula
- Total landed cost = Goods + Freight + Customs + Duty + Insurance + Inspection + Packaging + Prep + Labeling + Warehouse + Misc
- Landed cost per unit = Total landed cost ÷ Quantity
Example
$4 units land at $6 each once freight, 10% duty and inspection are included.
Total quantity: 500Unit cost from supplier: 4Freight: 600Duty % of goods value: 10Inspection: 200
Frequently asked questions
How do I estimate duty?
Look up the HTS code for your product; duty is a percentage of the customs value. Enter it as duty % or as a flat amount from your broker's quote.
