About FOB Calc

Why We Built This

Export quoting is full of small mistakes that cost real money. An inland charge forgotten, an insurance rate applied to the wrong base, a margin calculated on cost instead of price. Every one of these quietly shrinks a quote that looked fine on paper.

FOB Calc was built to remove those mistakes. Enter your costs once and the calculator shows EXW, FOB, and CIF prices side by side, so you can see exactly what each incoterm adds and where your margin actually sits.

Who Is Behind It

The tool is built and maintained by people with years of hands-on experience in China export trade, working with factories, freight forwarders, and international buyers. We built it first for our own quoting work, then decided to make it free for every exporter and importer.

How We Keep It Accurate

• The formulas follow standard Incoterms 2020 definitions for EXW, FOB, and CIF.
• Insurance is calculated on 110% of CIF value, the standard trade practice.
• Every input is editable, so your quote reflects your real costs, not a template.

What This Tool Is Not

FOB Calc gives estimates for planning. It is not a substitute for a customs broker, a freight forwarder, or your own contract terms. Confirm duty rates, charges, and legal terms with the right professionals before committing.
