How the formula works
Total Material Cost = (Quantity × (1 + Waste/100) × Unit Price) + Shipping − Discount
- Base Cost = Quantity × Unit Price
- Total Quantity with Waste = Quantity × (1 + Waste Factor / 100)
- Waste Cost = Quantity × Unit Price × (Waste Factor / 100)
- Gross Cost = Base Cost + Waste Cost + Shipping
- Discount Amount = Gross Cost × (Discount / 100)
- Total Material Cost = Gross Cost − Discount Amount
- Effective Unit Cost = Total Material Cost ÷ Total Quantity with Waste
- Waste factor accounts for scrap, breakage, and cutting losses
