How to use the export break-even price calculator
Start with your product cost and packing cost, then add shipment-level export expenses such as inland transport, port and documentation charges, international freight and insurance. The tool spreads those consignment costs across your quantity to get a per-unit cost.
It then separates break-even pricing from target pricing. Break-even is the selling price where your modeled costs are recovered. Target price adds the profit margin you enter while also allowing for percentage-based payment fees and sales commission.
Export Break-Even Calculator FAQs
What is an export break-even price?
It is the selling price at which your modeled revenue covers the costs included in the calculation, leaving no profit or loss before any costs you have not entered.
What costs should I include in an export break-even calculation?
Common inputs include product cost, packing, inland transport, port or customs documentation, international freight and insurance. Add any other transaction-specific cost that materially affects your export price.
What is the difference between margin and markup?
Margin is profit as a percentage of selling revenue. Markup is profit as a percentage of cost. They produce different selling prices, so the tool labels the target input specifically as profit margin.
How are payment fees and commission handled?
This calculator models them as percentages of selling revenue. That is useful for card, marketplace or sales-agent costs that rise with the invoice value. Use your actual commercial agreement where the fee is a fixed amount instead.
Can I use this for FOB, CFR or CIF pricing?
Yes. The tool can help you model the total cost structure behind an export selling price. For an Incoterm-specific quote, make sure you include only the costs that belong in the chosen term and keep buyer-side destination costs separate where applicable.
