Pricing Strategy for Wholesale: How to Calculate Landed Cost & Set Profitable Retail Prices
Stop guessing your margin: calculate landed cost
To price correctly, you need your landed cost per unit (what the item really costs delivered to you). Then you can set a confident retail price and margin.
Landed cost formula (simple)
- Product unit cost (based on your tier)
- Shipping per unit (DHL or container/LCL divided by units)
- Duties/taxes (depending on destination)
- Packaging/handling
Next: choose your retail strategy
- Premium positioning: higher margin + storytelling
- Volume positioning: competitive price + strong reorder speed
To get accurate numbers fast, enter your quantity on product pages and compare shipping methods at checkout.
