First time using this calculator?
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.
Packaging cost per metric tonne packed
Uses the payload entered by the user. Does not determine safe working load, safety factor, suitability or compliance.
Packaging cost/tonne = (FIBC cost + liner cost) ÷ usable payload (kg) × 1,000
(8 + 1) ÷ 1,000 × 1,000 = 9/tonneSaved calculations stay in this browser. No account or cloud backup is created.

How sensitive is this result to your assumptions?
Vary one input and inspect packaging cost per metric tonne packed
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.
Add the FIBC and any separately purchased liner, then spread that packaging cost over the actual product payload used for the scenario. A partially filled bag can have a different cost per tonne than the same bag used at another permitted payload. The calculator uses the quantity entered; it does not derive capacity from dimensions or approve a loading plan.
How to use this calculator
- 01
Enter the FIBC unit price and any separate liner cost.

(8 + 1) ÷ 1,000 × 1,000 = 9/tonneCheck 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.
