Worked example
With the default sample inputs, packaging materials total 1.22 per order and 2.5 minutes of labor at 18 per hour adds 0.75, producing a sample packaging cost of 1.97 per order.
Frequently asked questions
Should shipping cost be entered as packaging cost?
Usually no. Keep packaging materials and packing labor separate from carrier or freight charges unless your internal costing method intentionally combines them.
Can I use another currency?
Yes. The calculation is currency-agnostic; the currency selector changes the display symbol while you enter all costs consistently in that currency.
