Turn product, freight and buffers into a minimum sell price — then see how freight increases would move that floor before you send the quote.

Frequently asked questions
What is a cost floor?
The sum of product and known logistics costs before buffers and margin — your absolute minimum recovery point.
Why add FX and contingency buffers?
Currency and freight move between quote and booking. Small buffers stop “won” quotes from becoming loss-makers.
How should I use the freight shock table?
If a +10% freight move breaks your commercial target, either raise the quote, shorten validity, or lock freight before you commit.
Does this replace landed cost?
No. Use landed cost for full destination economics; use this tool to protect the sell price on the quote you are about to send.
