- Add one row for each packaging item you use in a single order — a bag, a box, wrapping paper, tape, a sticker.
- Enter the cost of one unit and how many units go into one order.
- Enter how many orders you pack in a month to see the monthly total.
- Compare the per-order cost with your selling price to make sure packaging does not eat your profit.
Note: Buy packaging in larger quantities to lower the per-unit cost. This calculator uses the prices you enter, so update them when your supplier changes rates.
