Calculator · Per-unit landed cost vs MOQ

MOQ break-even calculator

Run a manufacturing MOQ scenario through fixed inbound cost (freight, duty, broker, 3PL receiving) and see how landed cost per unit changes. Higher MOQ usually wins on per-unit but punishes cash flow and storage.

Methodology. Landed per unit = (unit cost × qty + fixed inbound) ÷ qty. Higher MOQ amortises fixed inbound (freight, duty, broker, receiving) over more units — usually winning on per-unit. The trade-off is cash outlay and longer storage if you can't sell through quickly. Match MOQ to your 90-day forecast, not your annual demand.
