Thread: Calculating single price from bulk purchase

    Default Calculating single price from bulk purchase

    Hello again i was wondering when you purchase bulk from wholesale how do i calculate how much each item is out of that bulk purchase so i know the single value of each.
    For example $189.52 for 103 pieces of soap dishes im buying so how do i figure from this how much each single soap dish really is, also if they charge tax and shipping charges how to integrate that

    Thanks for any replys

    Very simple math.

    $189.52/103 = $1.84/piece

    If you want to subtract the tax and shipping the formula looks more like this:

    (Bulk cost - tax - shipping charge)/total number of pieces in the bulk order
    ($189.52 - $20 (assumed) - $40 (assumed))/103
    $129.52/103 = $1.257/piece

    I do this on a weekly basis as I buy my carbide stock in quantities of 500+ at a time about once a week.
