Incoterms 2020 cost split calculator
ICC Incoterms 2020 rules define seller and buyer obligations for delivery, risk, carriage-related tasks, export/import formalities and certain costs. They are not simply a “who pays freight” code. The named place or port is part of the rule and can materially change where delivery and risk transfer occur. ICC Incoterms rules information.
How to use this calculator
Select a rule to load a simplified payer preset, enter your actual cost estimates, and then review every payer cell. The preset intentionally leaves cargo insurance unallocated except under CIF and CIP, because most other Incoterms rules do not require either party to obtain cargo insurance even though one party may choose to do so.
Cost allocation is not the same as risk transfer
Under some “C” rules the seller pays main carriage to a destination while risk transfers earlier. Do not infer risk transfer from the larger cost total. Use the exact Incoterms 2020 rule and named location in the sales contract, and separately review insurance and carrier terms.
Important exclusions
This estimator cannot encode every terminal handling charge, local customs practice, VAT/GST treatment, security filing, container demurrage or contract variation. DDP can create especially significant import-tax and registration obligations for the seller. Use the calculator for quote comparison and landed-cost planning, then validate with trade/compliance professionals.
