How it works
Yarn Cost Calculator
Find the true landed cost of yarn per kg — and per usable kg after wastage.
Freight and non-recoverable tax are added to the yarn value; dividing by usable kg shows what each kg in fabric really costs.
Formula
The formula, in full
- Purchase cost
- Price × kg + Freight × kg + Tax% × Yarn value
- Landed / kg
- Purchase cost ÷ kg
- Effective / kg
- Purchase cost ÷ (kg × (1 − Wastage%))
Example
30s combed cotton
- 01Purchase = ₹14,45,000
- 02Landed = ₹289/kg
- 03Effective = ₹294.90/kg
