How to use this calculator

Enter quantity, factor and rate for each cost line. Assign lines to packaging, handling, transport or storage, for example. Complete inputs let you compare two scenarios and costs per item, carton, pallet or container.

Formula and calculation

Line cost = quantity × factor × rate. Total cost = sum of active lines. Cost per unit = total cost ÷ unit quantity.

Worked example

Twenty pallets × factor 1 × €8 gives €160 in pallet costs. With €600 transport, these two lines total €760, or €38 per pallet for 20 pallets.

Frequently asked questions

Where do freight prices come from?

Enter your own rates from quotes or internal costing. The calculator does not retrieve current freight rates and has no automatic ERP connection.

How can I represent storage costs?

For example, use storage positions as quantity, storage days as factor and price per position per day as the rate. Check that the quote’s units match your inputs.

Why is there no total?

Every active cost line must be complete and valid to calculate a full total. Complete missing values or deactivate lines that do not apply to the scenario.
