Liquidation pallet profit with freight and loss-rate risk
Use this wholesale calculator before bidding on a pallet, case pack, or bulk lot. Enter lot cost, manifest retail, item count, supplier condition, sell-through recovery assumptions, fees, shipping, freight, buyer premium, storage, labor, and target hourly return.
The calculator does not treat manifest retail as revenue. It models sellable items after loss and damage, damaged-item recovery, all-in lot cost, platform fees, per-item shipping, storage drag, labor cost, break-even item count, and max bid.
Supplier condition terms vary. Replace the planning presets with supplier-specific manifests, condition grades, freight quotes, and your own audit data as soon as you have them.
- Primary decision: bid, lower max bid, or pass.
- Inputs match wholesale evidence: manifest, condition type, loss/damage rates, freight, buyer premium, storage, fees, shipping, and labor.
- Best next action: spot-check the highest-retail SKUs against sold comps before bidding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I include freight and buyer premium in pallet profit?
Freight and buyer premium are part of the all-in lot cost. Leaving them out can turn a model that looks profitable into a thin or negative buy after fees, shipping, storage, and labor.
Should I trust manifest retail value?
No. Manifest retail is an anchor, not revenue. Spot-check the highest-dollar SKUs against sold comps, reduce for condition, and model loss or damaged recovery before bidding.
What is max bid in this calculator?
Max bid is the lot price that still supports the modeled revenue, fees, shipping, storage, labor, freight, buyer premium, and target hourly return. If bidding climbs above it, the lot no longer matches the plan.
How should I set loss and damage rates?
Use supplier condition language and your own audit data. Until then, keep rates conservative, especially for customer returns, salvage, electronics, missing parts, or untested lots.
