Contribution is the result after the entered deal costs only. It is not company net profit and excludes unentered costs and taxes on profit.

The margin equation

Count the full cost of delivery.

Transport, insurance, commissions, customs costs and financing can materially change the export price. Enter only the costs your business bears under the specific agreement; the calculator does not assign costs automatically.

Converted proceeds − production − seller-paid costs − finance − fees = contribution
The quote threshold

Price for the result you need.

The break-even and target price are calculated in the invoice currency per unit. A target margin is a share of sales revenue, so it differs from markup on cost. A shift in the exchange rate changes both thresholds.

Required revenue = fixed deal cost ÷ (1 − variable fee share − target margin)
Cost categories follow the U.S. International Trade Administration’s export pricing guidance. The allocation of delivery costs depends on the agreed term; see the International Chamber of Commerce Incoterms® rules. The model uses simple interest on entered upfront costs for the selected days (annual rate × days ÷ 365); actual facilities may use different balances, fees and conventions. No taxes on profit or unentered costs are modeled.
