Two free calculators for importers and exporters. Calculate your true landed cost and model currency risk — in seconds, with no account needed.
What does your shipment actually cost?
Calculate the true landed cost of any imported product. Enter your supplier price, origin country, HS code, freight method, and destination — get a full breakdown of import duty, VAT, freight, insurance, and FX conversion cost.
How much does currency risk cost you?
Model how exchange rate movements affect your profit margins. Enter your selling price, supplier currency, and target margin — see your break-even rate and margin impact across mild, moderate, and severe depreciation scenarios.
Most importers calculate: Supplier price + freight = landed cost. That's wrong by 15–30%.
The true landed cost includes import duty (0–45% depending on product and destination), VAT or GST on the full CIF value, customs clearance fees, insurance, and the hidden cost of currency conversion. A shipment that looks profitable at the supplier quote stage can be loss-making by the time it reaches your warehouse.
Our Landed Cost Calculator adds all of these. Our FX Risk Modeller shows you what happens to your margin if the exchange rate moves 5%, 10%, or 20% against you — before you commit to a large purchase order.

Duty rates are sourced from the UK Global Tariff, US HTS, and EU Combined Nomenclature, updated quarterly. They are indicative — always verify with a customs broker or the official tariff database before making a significant import decision. Rates can change with trade agreements and budget announcements.
Landed cost is the total cost of getting a product from your supplier to your warehouse, including supplier price, international freight, import duty, VAT/GST, customs clearance, insurance, and currency conversion. Many importers underestimate their true cost by 15–30% by ignoring one or more of these elements.
If you price your products in GBP but pay your suppliers in USD or CNY, a change in the exchange rate changes your effective cost — even if the supplier price stays the same. A 10% GBP depreciation against USD means your USD-priced goods cost 10% more in GBP. The FX Risk Modeller shows you exactly how much margin you lose at different exchange rate levels.
An HS (Harmonised System) code is a 6-digit number used by customs authorities worldwide to classify traded goods. Your HS code determines your import duty rate. The Landed Cost Calculator includes the most common categories — if you need a specific code, the UK Trade Tariff (gov.uk/trade-tariff) is the official reference.

Use the Landed Cost Calculator to set accurate product pricing and the FX Risk Modeller to stress-test your margins before a large purchase order.
