Transparent methodology
Formula & assumptions.
A planning allocation calculator for shared shipment costs across multiple SKUs.
Calculation formula
Allocation base = units, total weight, total volume or product value
Shareᵢ = baseᵢ ÷ Σ base
Allocated costᵢ = shipment cost × shareᵢ
Total allocated shared costᵢ = total shared cost × shareᵢ
Freight cost per unitᵢ = allocated freightᵢ ÷ unitsᵢ
Shipping & import cost per unitᵢ = total allocated shared costᵢ ÷ unitsᵢ
Delivered cost per unitᵢ = unit product costᵢ + shared import cost per unitᵢ
Choosing a method
- By Units suits products with a similar freight footprint.
- By Weight suits costs driven mainly by shipment weight; By Volume suits space-driven freight.
- By Product Value can suit value-based accounting or insurance allocation.
- The best allocation method depends on accounting policy, freight billing basis, management reporting purpose, customs treatment and business rules.
- This tool provides planning allocation only. It is not tax advice, customs advice or accounting certification.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you allocate.
Understand what this multi-SKU cost allocation can guide — and what remains a business decision.
Is this a shipping cost per unit calculator?⌄
Yes. It calculates freight cost per unit and the broader shipping and import cost per unit after allocating shared shipment costs.
Which allocation method should I use?⌄
Choose a method that matches your accounting policy, freight structure and intended business use. The calculator does not determine that policy.
Does currency conversion happen automatically?⌄
No. Currency is a display label only. Enter all costs in one chosen currency.
Can I allocate costs across more than two SKUs?⌄
Yes. Add up to 10 SKU rows and the allocation updates instantly.
Why is a SKU cost per unit unavailable?⌄
A SKU with zero units cannot have a per-unit cost, even when its allocation share is valid under another method.
Does this replace the Landed Cost Calculator?⌄
No. Landed Cost estimates one shipment total. This tool allocates entered shared shipment costs across multiple SKUs.
