THE NUMBERS, EXPLAINED
How to use this calculator.
All delivery and extra charges must already be in the home currency. No tax or duty rate is inferred.
Start with your inputs
Enter foreign price, exchange rate (home per foreign), delivery in home currency, other entered charges, local price. Keep amounts in the units shown on each field. The example is a starting point, not a recommended value.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Foreign price | 100 |
| Exchange rate (home per foreign) | 0.8 |
| Delivery in home currency | 10 |
| Other entered charges | 5 |
| Local price | 100 |
A worked example
With the example inputs above, landed cost is 95. Change the inputs to explore your own scenario.
Putting the example numbers into the formula
Landed cost
(100) × (0.8)+(10)+(5) = 95
Saving versus local
(100)-((100) × (0.8)+(10)+(5)) = 5
| Result | Example answer |
|---|---|
| Landed cost | 95 |
| Saving versus local | 5 |
How this is calculated
Landed cost
a × b+c+d
Saving versus local
e-(a × b+c+d)
