How to Calculate the Real Cost of a Wholesale Pallet
Use a landed-cost calculation with realistic saleable quantities and clear GST treatment.
Add the full costs
Combine the agreed pallet price, freight, unloading, testing, repairs and selling costs. Avoid counting GST as a recoverable amount unless your business is eligible.
Use saleable units
Divide the relevant total costs by the units you realistically expect to sell, not necessarily every manifest unit. Accessories, faulty returns and slow stock need separate assumptions.
Test your assumptions
Compare conservative, expected and optimistic outcomes. Declared retail value is a reference, not guaranteed resale proceeds. Keep the accepted quote and manifest with your calculations.
