Formulas & assumptions
Purchase = quantity × unit quote × manual exchange rate. Same-currency conversion is always 1.
Customs basis: Goods + freight + insurance. For automatic bases, subtract itemized included local charges, embedded duty, and embedded tax from the quote. Add separately paid freight and insurance for the freight-inclusive basis; subtract itemized included freight and insurance for goods-only. Apply adjustment (USD 0.00), and clamp at zero. Manual value (USD 0.00) overrides these adjustments.
Duty = customs value × 5% = USD 1,025.50. Tax base = customs value + duty (embedded actual duty when included) = USD 21,535.50. Tax = tax base × 10%.
Landed = purchase + separately paid freight, insurance, local charges, duty, and tax. Included components are never added again. Additional expenses = landed − purchase. Investment = landed. Unit cost and break-even = landed ÷ quantity (zero if quantity is zero).
Revenue = quantity × selling price. Gross profit = revenue − landed. Margin = profit ÷ revenue × 100 (zero if revenue is zero). This cash-outlay estimate includes import taxes even if potentially recoverable; it excludes financing, overhead, selling fees, and income taxes.
Incoterm inclusions are editable starting assumptions, not a substitute for the supplier contract. Duty and tax rates are user-provided estimates. No country-specific rules or live exchange rates are applied.
