The calculator combines activity-based fulfillment fees (receiving, storage, pick-pack, packaging, kitting) with fixed monthly overhead to estimate total 3PL spend. Service-level and complexity factors model common operational variations in warehouse workflows.
inbound cost = inbound pallets x receiving fee x storage model factor
storage cost = avg pallets x monthly pallet fee x storage model factor
pick-pack + packaging + kitting = order volume x per-order fees x complexity/SLA factors
total monthly cost = variable costs + fixed account management fee
