Show the math

Currency totals round to cents. Sub-dollar unit rates use extra precision; very small rates use scientific notation. Calculations retain unrounded values.

What this means

Landed cost combines the expense of acquiring a shipment and divides it by expected sellable units. Purchased and sellable quantities are distinct.

Worked example

$1,000 acquisition plus $100 freight and $50 handling totals $1,150. For 100 purchased units and a 5% expected loss, 95 expected sellable units carry $12.10526316 each.

How the math works

Additional expenses = freight + handling + user-supplied duties/taxes + other acquisition cost. Total = product acquisition + additional. Expected sellable units = purchased quantity×(1−loss/100). Landed unit cost = total/sellable units.

About this estimate

Loss is an expected fraction, so expected units can be fractional; it is not an actual physical stock count. Acquisition costs are not refunded for loss. No tariff rates, import advice, tax treatment or resale selling price are inferred.
