Fulfillment Cost Calculator

It is a directional estimate built to help you sanity check unit economics. Real pricing depends on your SKU profile, packaging rules, integrations, service level, and volume. If you want exact numbers, send us your basics and we will map the workflow and price it correctly.

The per order estimate includes pick and pack labor, the packaging and insert costs you enter, an estimated shipping postage amount, and expected returns processing based on your return rate. It is designed to reflect the variable parts of fulfillment.

This tool does not include storage, inbound receiving, account management fees, minimums, or onboarding work. For a full monthly 3PL budget estimate, use our 3PL Cost Calculator. The two tools work together. This one models order economics. The 3PL calculator models the full relationship cost.

Start with your best average billed weight and pick a middle zone if you ship nationally. If you have carrier invoices, use the manual postage option and enter your blended postage per order. If you are unsure, we can help you estimate this from a few recent orders and your product dimensions.

More items usually means more picks, more time in pack out, and often a larger carton with higher postage. If you sell bundles or multi pack offers, it is worth modeling both the single item cart and your typical bundled cart to see the true margin impact.

Monthly order volume, average items per order, SKU count, your top box or mailer types, average shipped weight and dimensions, and any special steps like kitting, labeling, or lot tracking. If you already have a 3PL proposal, send it and we will translate it into a clean apples to apples view.
