Suggested selling price scenarios
Once you know your landed cost, here is what you should charge at different gross margin targets.
| Target margin | Selling price (total) | Selling price per unit | Profit per unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20% gross margin | $9,000.00 | $90.00 | $18.00 |
| 30% gross margin | $10,285.71 | $102.86 | $30.86 |
| 40% gross margin | $12,000.00 | $120.00 | $48.00 |
| 50% gross margin | $14,400.00 | $144.00 | $72.00 |
| 60% gross margin | $18,000.00 | $180.00 | $108.00 |
Formula: Selling price = Landed cost ÷ (1 − Target margin%). This ensures your margin is on the selling price, not a markup on cost.

How landed cost works
Landed cost is the sum of every cost required to bring a product from a supplier to the buyer's door — not just the product price.
Many importers underprice products because they look only at the product cost. Landed cost reveals the true picture — and it often adds 30% or more to the base product price.

Frequently asked questions
What is landed cost?▾
Landed cost is the total cost of a product once it has arrived at the buyer's destination — including the original product cost plus all freight, insurance, customs duties, taxes, handling fees, and any other charges incurred to bring the goods to their final destination.
How is landed cost calculated?▾
Landed cost = Product cost + International freight + Insurance + Customs duties + Taxes (VAT/GST) + Handling fees + Other costs. Dividing the total by the quantity gives the landed cost per unit — the true cost of each item.
Why is landed cost important?▾
Landed cost is essential for accurate product pricing, margin analysis, and purchasing decisions. Many businesses underprice products by looking only at the product cost — ignoring duties, freight, and fees that can add 30% or more to the true cost.
Is the Landed Cost Calculator free?▾
Yes, the IMEXLOG Landed Cost Calculator is completely free with no sign-up required. If you need a professional report with a full breakdown and reference number, you can optionally purchase one for $4.99.
What is included in the Professional Landed Cost Report?▾
The Professional Landed Cost Report includes the full cost breakdown by category, total landed cost, landed cost per unit, landed cost premium vs. product cost, suggested selling price at your target margin, and a unique reference number. It is saved to your IMEXLOG account.
Does the calculator include customs duties?▾
Yes — but you must enter the duty amount yourself. Duty depends on the HS code, origin, and destination. Use the IMEXLOG Import Duty Calculator or Import Cost Calculator to estimate duty and taxes first, then paste the results here for the full landed cost picture.
How do I use landed cost for pricing?▾
Once you know the landed cost per unit, add your target margin to set a selling price. For example, if landed cost per unit is $50 and you want a 40% gross margin, price at $50 ÷ (1 − 0.40) = $83.33.
Does the calculator work on mobile?▾
Yes. The IMEXLOG Landed Cost Calculator is fully responsive and works on phones, tablets, and desktops. It is also available inside the IMEXLOG mobile app.
