Cost, quantity and specification together.
Landed totals need freight, first-order tooling and other fixed charges for every quotation. Enter 0 only for confirmed no-charge items; blank means unknown.
Not supplied for every quotation: Label width × repeat (mm); Facestock / adhesive / liner; Print / coating / die-cut; Winding / core / roll format. Do not assume equivalence.

Vary required good units
This is a scenario comparison, not a performance forecast or statistical confidence interval. Offers must represent equivalent good output and one currency. Existing price tiers, MOQ and whole-pack rounding remain active.
Loss and price scenarios change Supplier A only. Base-price scenarios retain existing tier prices. Unusable fraction must stay below 100%.

A lower price does not establish equivalent performance. The per-required-unit figure allocates cash to current demand; usable surplus remains inventory. Confirm the quotation at the rounded purchase quantity.

Use a supplier price for one defined finished item or complete set. Raw material mass or area estimates do not include finished-item conversion automatically. Normalize commercial pack prices using the declared units per case or roll. Compare the same required usable quantity across suppliers, rather than dividing every quote by its own minimum order. Label specifications require a separate check: Label width × repeat (mm); Facestock / adhesive / liner; Print / coating / die-cut; Winding / core / roll format. Text differences are review prompts, not a certification that matching text means equivalent quality.
How to use this calculator
- 01
Enter a base supplier price and optional all-units quantity price breaks, its commercial basis and any case or roll count.
- 02
Enter your required usable units, supplier MOQ, explicitly known freight and tooling, and any expected unusable fraction.
- 03
Review first-order cash requirement, recurring cost, surplus and specification differences; export the comparison for review.
A calculation you can check
Illustrative order: 10,000 usable units, EUR 120 per 1,000, MOQ 12,000, no loss, freight EUR 180 and tooling EUR 300 and no other order charges. Purchase 12,000 units: first-order total EUR 1,920, repeat-order total EUR 1,620 and 2,000 surplus units. EUR 0.192 per required unit describes cash allocated to current demand; it is not the price per purchased unit.
