Use the free Markup on Landed Cost Calculator below, right in your browser. No sign-up, no software to install, and nothing is sent to a server.
Every small business owner faces the same quiet question: after all the costs and fees, how much money does a sale really leave behind? Guessing feels fast, but it hides the truth, because a price that looks healthy can turn thin once commissions, fees, or extra costs are taken off. This free Markup on Landed Cost Calculator answers that question in seconds, using only the numbers you already know from your own prices and costs. Type them in, and you get a clear result you can act on, instead of a feeling you have to trust.
The tool is built for everyday shop, stall, and online sellers, not for accountants. You enter your goods cost, your shipping cost, the duty percent on goods, and your markup percent, and it returns the duty amount, the landed cost, and the selling price with markup. There is no sign-up, no download, and no data sent anywhere, because every calculation runs inside your own browser. That makes it safe to try different prices and costs as often as you like, until the numbers look right for your business.
Start by typing your numbers into the boxes, using the values from your last real sale or your price list where possible. Press the Calculate button, and the result appears straight below. Change any number and press the button again to compare. Try a higher price, a lower cost, or a different rate, and watch how the result moves, so you learn which number matters most for your profit.
The maths behind it is simple, and the tool shows it plainly so you can check it by hand. Duty equals goods cost times duty percent divided by 100. Landed cost equals goods cost plus shipping plus duty. Selling price equals landed cost times one plus markup percent divided by 100. Pricing on the goods cost alone would ignore two real costs you already paid. Nothing is hidden in a black box, and every figure in the result comes from the numbers you typed. If a result looks surprising, re-check the inputs first, because one mistyped zero changes everything.
Take goods costing 100 with shipping of 20 and duty of 10 percent on the goods. The duty is 10, so the landed cost is 130, not 100. Apply a markup of 50 percent, and the selling price is 195. A seller who priced from 100 alone would charge 150 and wonder where the profit went, because 30 of true cost never entered the price.
Now raise the duty to 25 percent with the same goods and shipping. The duty becomes 25, the landed cost rises to 145, and the price with 50 percent markup becomes 217.50. Duty rates move by product and origin, so a single old rate in your head can quietly underprice a whole shipment. Re-run the tool for each new shipment, not just once a year.
Read the landed cost as the true cost of having the goods ready to sell. Every later figure, margin, discount, or commission, should be judged on that number, never on the goods cost alone. If the landed cost already eats most of your market price, the product or the supplier needs a rethink before you order more stock.
The most common mistake is applying duty to goods plus shipping when your duty is charged on goods only, or the reverse, which shifts the landed cost either way. Another mistake is leaving out handling, insurance, or currency moves, which are small per unit but real across a shipment. Check how your duty is charged, and add the small extras to shipping or goods so they are not forgotten.
Keep a landed cost sheet per supplier and per product, updated with each shipment, so the next order starts from facts, not memory. When a duty rate or freight quote changes, run the tool before you confirm the order, because the selling price may need to move with it. A five-minute check protects the margin of the whole shipment.
Treat every result as an estimate, not as professional financial advice. Real sales also involve taxes, refunds, packaging, delivery, payment fees, and your own time, which this tool does not count unless you include them in your costs. Use the results to compare options and to set prices with more confidence, then check the final figures against your own accounts before you commit to a new price.
Used regularly, the Markup on Landed Cost Calculator becomes a quick habit before you change a price, accept a new channel, or agree a commission deal. A two-minute check today can stop a price that quietly loses money tomorrow. Bookmark the page, keep your real costs close at hand, and run the numbers every time the deal changes.
