    How this is calculated

    For the same SKU, air and sea differ wildly in cost-per-kilo. This calculator multiplies your annual volume by the rate difference to surface the real annual saving of choosing ocean freight.

    1. Annual cost = weight x rate/kg
    2. Saving = air cost - sea cost

    What to make of the number

    Sea rates are typically 60-80% cheaper per kilo than air for non-urgent cargo.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is sea always better?
    No. If sell-through is fast enough, air stock-outs cost more than the freight saving.
