HOW IT WORKS

Divide a total freight bill across the units it carried to get the true shipping cost baked into every piece.

1
Enter your numbers
Type the total freight for the shipment, the number of units it carried, and optionally the base unit cost.
2
We spread it
Freight per unit = total freight ÷ units. Landed cost per unit = unit cost + freight per unit, and freight as a % of the unit cost.
3
Use the result
Fold the freight-per-unit figure into your cost before setting price so shipping never quietly erodes margin.
