Know your landed cost. Buy with confidence.

BuyCal is the buyer's pocket toolkit — work out landed costs, freight, retail prices and margins on the spot, whether you're importing containers from overseas or buying locally. Built for product buyers, importers, retailers and merchandisers.

No account. No sign-up. All five calculators free. Works offline.

🌏 COMPLETE IMPORT COSTING
Step through a full import calculation — FOB price, conversion rate, container cost, customs duty, agency fees, cartons, weights and quantities — down to a true landed cost per item.

💰 LOCAL LANDED COST & RRP
Buying domestically? Enter your freight, quantity and purchase price and get your landed cost and a recommended retail price instantly.

📦 QUICK RRP CHECK
Sitting across from a supplier? Two numbers in, indicative RRP out — decide on the spot whether a quote stacks up.

🚚 FREIGHT COSTING
Container sizes, carton dimensions, CBM and volumetric weight — see exactly what shipping adds to every unit.

🤝 NEGOTIATING POWER
Start from the retail price and margin you want, and work backwards to the cost price you should be paying. Walk into every negotiation knowing your number.

📁 SAVE, ORGANISE & SHARE
• Save calculations into folders, with photos and notes attached
• Export any calculation as CSV or PDF
• Share a whole folder as a ZIP — by email, Drive, WhatsApp or any app on your phone

💱 LIVE CURRENCY CHECK
A built-in currency converter with live exchange rates, right where you need it while you negotiate.

🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your calculations, photos and notes stay on your device — nothing is uploaded anywhere. No login, no tracking, no ads. The only internet feature is the live currency converter.

Whether you're negotiating your next container or costing stock at a local supplier, BuyCal helps you buy well — and know your margin before you commit.
