International price calculator
Type what the item costs you in rupees, the shipping, your payment fees, the exchange rate and the margin you want. You get a price in the buyer’s currency, rounded the way shops do, and the profit you keep in rupees.
Questions
How do I work out my price for a customer abroad?
Add your cost, the international shipping and any fixed fee per order. Divide by what is left of each rupee after the percent fees and the margin you want, which is one minus the fee rate minus the margin. That is the rupee amount you need to receive. Divide by the exchange rate to get the price in the buyer’s currency. The calculator does this and rounds up, so the margin is never below your target.
Which exchange rate should I use?
Use the rate you will actually get when the money reaches you: your bank’s or exchange company’s buying rate for that currency, not the rate you see on a news site. Rates change daily, so nothing here is filled in as today’s rate. The number in the box is only an example. Type your own.
What counts as payment fees?
Everything your payment provider or bank takes between the buyer paying and the rupees landing with you, including any currency conversion charge. Some providers also charge a fixed amount per order, so there is a second box for that. We have not filled in anyone’s fees. Read the price list of the provider you use and type what it says.
Does the price include shipping?
Yes. The shipping you enter is added to your cost, so the buyer sees one price with delivery included. If you want to charge shipping as a separate line instead, enter 0 for shipping here and add the charge at checkout.
Why price at AED 149 and not AED 148.62?
Round prices are easier to read, compare and remember. The calculator rounds up, never down, to a whole number, a price ending in 9 like AED 149, or one ending in .99 like GBP 24.99. The table under the result shows the profit at each, so you can see what the rounding costs or earns.
What about customs and VAT in the buyer’s country?
They are not in this calculator. Whether the buyer pays duty or tax on arrival depends on the country, the value and the product, and who is responsible differs by courier and shop setup. Ask your courier and check the customs site of the destination country before you promise a delivered price.
