Tariff Pass-Through Calculator
Duty paid at the border and the price paid at checkout are related — but not identical. This calculator converts a tariff into an estimated consumer hit using your pass-through assumption.
Why Pass-Through Is Messy
Contracts, inventory, competition, and brand power all change how fast costs move. Some firms announced immediate increases; others waited for replenishment cycles. Treat any single percentage as a scenario, not destiny.
Pair With Duty Tools
First estimate duty with the category tariff calculator or a niche tool such as furniture or toys, then paste the rate here.
Household View
For a multi-category annual budget, use the household tariff basket calculator.
