Estimated result
Calculation logic
Total cost = Purchase + Shipping + Tax & duty + Local costs
Gross profit = Selling price − Total cost
Gross margin = Gross profit ÷ Selling price × 100%
ROI = Gross profit ÷ Total cost × 100%
Margin is profit as a share of revenue; ROI is profit as a share of money invested.
Limitations
- All figures are estimates — FX, taxes and fees change.
- Does not account for financing cost, storage, warranty, or currency risk.
- Selling price is your assumption, not a market guarantee.
Assumptions
- Gross margin = profit ÷ selling price; ROI = profit ÷ total cost.
- All inputs are your own figures; tax & duty is expected to come from the Import Duty Calculator.
- A single-vehicle, single-cycle deal with no financing, storage or currency risk.

Example
Buy a vehicle for $18,000, ship for $2,500, pay $9,000 tax, $1,000 local, sell at $35,000:
Total cost = 18,000 + 2,500 + 9,000 + 1,000 = $30,500
Gross profit = 35,000 − 30,500 = $4,500
Gross margin = 4,500 ÷ 35,000 = 12.9%
ROI = 4,500 ÷ 30,500 = 14.8%
