This calculator helps determine the FOB (Free On Board) price for shipping 1-10 units with a 30% markup. FOB pricing is commonly used in international trade to specify the price at which the seller makes the goods available to the buyer, including costs up to the named port of shipment.
What is FOB Shipping?
FOB (Free On Board) is an international trade term that defines the point at which the risk of loss or damage to goods passes from the seller to the buyer. The seller is responsible for delivering the goods to the named port of shipment, while the buyer covers the cost of transporting the goods from that port to their final destination.
Key characteristics of FOB shipping:
- Seller pays for shipping to the port
- Buyer pays for shipping from port to destination
- Seller bears risk until goods are loaded on the ship
- Commonly used in international trade agreements
FOB pricing is often used in contracts to specify the price at which the seller makes the goods available to the buyer. The price may include costs up to the named port of shipment, but typically excludes costs for transporting the goods from that port to the buyer's location.
How to Calculate FOB Price
The FOB price is calculated by adding a markup percentage to the base shipping cost. The formula is:
FOB Price = (Shipping Cost × Quantity) × (1 + Markup Percentage)
Where:
- Shipping Cost - The cost to ship one unit to the port
- Quantity - Number of units being shipped (1-10)
- Markup Percentage - The profit margin added to the shipping cost (30% in this case)
The calculator applies this formula to determine the total FOB price for your specific shipping scenario.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the FOB price for shipping 5 units with a shipping cost of $100 per unit and a 30% markup:
FOB Price = ($100 × 5) × (1 + 0.30) = $500 × 1.30 = $650
In this example, the total FOB price is $650, which includes the shipping costs plus a 30% markup.
