The cost estimator tool helps you quickly calculate the estimated expenses for your upcoming project.
Cost Estimator
This cost estimator allows you to calculate the total cost of an item purchase by considering various parameters like base cost, quantity, discount, tax rate, and shipping cost.
How To Use:

How It Calculates The Results:
The calculator multiplies the base cost by the quantity to get the total base cost. Any discount is then subtracted from this total base cost to get the discounted cost. Tax is applied to the discounted cost, and the shipping cost is added to arrive at the final total cost.
