Packaging Total = Quantity × Packaging Cost Per Unit
Subtotal = Base Cost + Packaging Total + Shipping + Setup Fee + Other Fees
Discount Amount = Subtotal × Discount Rate
Tax Amount = Subtotal After Discount × Tax Rate
Landed Cost = Subtotal After Discount + Tax Amount
Landed Unit Cost = Landed Cost ÷ Quantity
Selling Unit Price = Landed Unit Cost × (1 + Markup Rate)
Profit Margin = Gross Profit ÷ Total Revenue × 100

Wholesale Padfolio Pricing Guide
Understand Your Product Cost
A padfolio with a built-in calculator has more cost layers than a plain folder. The calculator, cover material, stitching, clip, notepad, pockets, and packaging can change the final price. A buyer should review every part before accepting a supplier quote. Small details can affect profit at scale.
Why Landed Cost Matters
The unit cost from the supplier is only the starting point. Shipping, tax, setup fees, decoration charges, and cartons must be included. Landed cost shows the real cost after those charges. This makes price planning safer. It also helps compare vendors with different quote styles.
Use Markup Carefully
Markup is added after the full landed cost is known. A high markup may protect profit, but it can reduce order acceptance. A low markup may win sales, yet it can leave little room for returns, samples, payment fees, or damage. The best markup should match the customer, quantity, and product quality.
Check Discounts and Break-even Price
Wholesale suppliers often offer discounts for larger quantities. The calculator applies the discount before tax. It then finds the break-even unit price. This number is useful because it shows the lowest safe selling price before profit. Sellers should not price below it unless there is a clear strategy.
Review Profit Before Ordering
Bulk orders can look profitable at first. However, one missed fee can reduce the margin. This tool gives expected revenue, gross profit, and margin percentage. It helps buyers test different quantities and prices. It can also support supplier negotiation. You can compare several quotes and choose the most practical option.
Plan for Real Business Use
Use this calculator before sending a purchase order. Add realistic shipping and tax values. Enter packaging and other fees honestly. Then export the results for records. A clear report helps teams approve buying decisions. It also gives sales staff a reliable price range for customer quotes and wholesale catalogs.
