Replace the example values with figures from your supplier sheet or measurements. Choose the unit beside each value. Results update as you type; fix any highlighted field before using the result.
GSM means grams per square metre. Net weight excludes the core and other packaging. MOQ means the minimum order quantity. An optional field can stay blank unless the result you need depends on it.
Prices keep the selected currency; changing its label does not convert an exchange rate. Save or export the result after checking your inputs.
Unit label only. No currency conversion.
Additional measurements (optional) — some values entered
These are only needed for additional result units or a more detailed estimate. Entered values still affect the result when this section is closed.
Cost per aerosol
One of each entered component per aerosol is assumed. This is packaging arithmetic and does not determine pressure compatibility or regulatory compliance.
Packaging/unit = can + valve + actuator + cap + decoration + assembly
0.18 + 0.07 + 0.04 + 0.03 + 0 + 0 = 0.32/unit; × 1,000 = 320; × 1,000,000 = 320,000/yearSaved calculations stay in this browser. No account or cloud backup is created.

Vary one input and inspect cost per aerosol
All other entered inputs stay fixed. Ranges are your scenarios, not statistical confidence or supplier performance predictions. This uses the same validated calculator engine.
The formula, made clear.
The valve, actuator and overcap are distinct purchased components and should remain separate in the cost build-up. Sum their entered per-unit prices with the can and any decoration or assembly charge. The resulting packaging cost can be scaled to 1,000 units or annual demand without treating the components as one interchangeable specification.
How to use this calculator
- 01
Enter the price of each included aerosol packaging component.
- 02
Add decoration and assembly or conversion only when charged separately.
- 03
Enter annual units to review the recurring packaging budget.
A calculation you can check
The example totals a can, valve, actuator and cap as separate purchasing items before scaling the system cost.
- Can per unit

- Valve per unit
- 0.07 EUR
- Actuator per unit
- 0.04 EUR
- Cap per unit
- 0.03 EUR
- Additional decoration per unit
- 0 EUR/unit
- Assembly / conversion per unit

0.18 + 0.07 + 0.04 + 0.03 + 0 + 0 = 0.32/unit; × 1,000 = 320; × 1,000,000 = 320,000/yearCheck the displayed formula and units against your quotation. Use measured GSM, net weight and actual layout dimensions where available. Default densities are planning assumptions, not certified material properties. Calculated cost does not certify strength, compatibility or safe loading.
