Container Shipping Cost Calculator

Enter the details below to estimate the cost of shipping a container internationally.

Inputs:

• Distance (miles) - The distance between the origin and destination ports.
• Container Size - 20ft or 40ft container.
• Shipping Route - Transatlantic or Transpacific route.

Output:

Estimated cost of shipping the container in USD.

Formula:

Base Cost = Distance × Rate per Mile

Total Cost = Base Cost × Container Size Multiplier × Route Multiplier

Rates: $2 per mile (base), 20ft: 1x, 40ft: 1.5x, Transatlantic: 1x, Transpacific: 1.2x

Example:

For a 40ft container shipped 5000 miles via Transpacific route:

Base Cost = 5000 × $2 = $10,000

Total Cost = $10,000 × 1.5 (40ft) × 1.2 (Transpacific) = $18,000
