How Tariffs Raise Prices

A tariff is a tax on imported goods, paid by the importer and usually passed along to consumers. The math is simple: tariff = price × rate, and the new price = price × (1 + rate). A 25% tariff on a $500 product adds $125, pushing it to $625. In practice, importers may absorb part of the cost, which is why this calculator lets you set the share passed to buyers.

Tariffs ripple through supply chains, so the final consumer price can rise by more or less than the headline rate depending on margins, sourcing and competition. Use this to estimate the impact on anything you buy or sell. Estimate only.

Tariff FAQ

The importing company pays the tariff to customs, then typically passes most of it to consumers through higher prices. So buyers usually bear much of the cost.
Multiply the item's value by the tariff rate. A 20% tariff on a $300 item is $60, making the landed price $360 before any markup.
Not always. Sellers may absorb some of it to stay competitive, or raise prices by more if demand is strong. The "share passed to buyer" setting lets you model this.
