Formulas

Total cost = Quantity × Price per unit (in the same unit)
All-in cost per ton = (Material cost + Freight + Other costs) ÷ Tons
Weighted average = Σ(Tons × Price) ÷ Σ Tons

Example: 100 metric tons at 75 per kg → 100 × 1,000 kg × 75 = 7,500,000, which is 75,000 per metric ton.

Example: 3 tons of rock cost $5,920 → $5,920 ÷ 6,000 lb = $0.99 per pound, or $1,973.33 per short ton.

Example: Dates cost $1,858 per metric ton including $9,000 of logistics on a 20 t order. Logistics = $450/t, so the buying price is $1,408/t ($1.41/kg).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate the total cost from a price per ton?

Multiply the quantity in tons by the price per ton. A construction company buying 8 tons of marble at $329 per ton pays 8 × $329 = $2,632. If the quantity and the price use different units (e.g. kg and tons), convert one of them first.

How much do 20 tons cost if the price is per kg?

Convert tons to kg and multiply. At 11 cents per kg, 20 metric tons = 20,000 kg × $0.11 = $2,200. At ₹150 per kg, 4 metric tons = 4,000 kg × ₹150 = ₹600,000.

How do I calculate a weighted average price per ton?

Multiply each lot's tonnage by its price, add the results, then divide by the total tonnage. For 56.55 t at 1,625 and 82.75 t at 1,500: (56.55 × 1,625 + 82.75 × 1,500) ÷ 139.3 = 1,550.74 per ton. A simple average of the two prices (1,562.50) would be wrong because the lots are different sizes.

How do I include freight in the cost per ton?

Add the freight, duties and other landed costs to the material cost, then divide by the tonnage. This gives an all-in or landed cost per ton, which is what you should compare between suppliers.
