What a price change does to one unit

Three separate calculations. One is for a material or input that changes price. One is for a duty rate on an imported part that changes. The third adds up what one unit costs and applies your own markup. Enter your own numbers.

This page needs JavaScript to do the calculations. You can do them by hand. For a price change: multiply the input's cost in one unit by its percent change, then divide by 100. That is the dollar change per unit. Divide it by the total cost of one unit to get the percent change in unit cost. For a duty change: take the rate after minus the rate before, in percentage points. Multiply the imported part's customs value by that, then divide by 100. That is the dollar change per unit. Divide it by the total cost of one unit to get the percent change in unit cost. To build a unit cost: add the scrap allowance to materials, add labor hours times your loaded rate, add overhead, and add the setup cost divided by the units in the run. For a quote, multiply that unit cost by one plus your markup percent divided by 100. The margin is the quote minus the unit cost, divided by the quote.
