Quick answer
Compare suppliers on landed cost: unit price plus freight per unit. Supplier A at ₹120 with ₹3,000 freight on 200 units lands at ₹135; supplier B at ₹105 with ₹6,000 freight on 1,000 units lands at ₹111. B is ₹24 a unit cheaper but needs ₹1.11 lakh upfront against ₹27,000, so check how fast you sell before committing.
How to use this calculator
- Enter each supplier's unit price and minimum order quantity.
- Add the freight or transport cost for that order.
- Compare landed cost and the cash each order needs.
Formula
Landed cost per unit = unit price + freight ÷ order quantity
Cash needed = landed cost × minimum order quantity
Add sample costs and quality checks before you place a large first order.
Frequently asked questions
What is landed cost?
The full cost of getting one unit to your warehouse: product price plus freight, loading and any other charges.
Should I always choose the lower landed cost?
Not if the larger MOQ takes many months to sell. Slow stock ties up cash and adds storage cost.
Should GST be included?
If you are GST-registered and claim input credit, compare prices without GST.
