DMK Cost Estimator

Use this calculator to estimate the total “DMK” cost for your items. We define DMK as a combined estimate for Delivery, Material, and Kitting expenses.

It’s perfect for quick budgeting or initial project planning where these three cost categories are important.

Understanding Your DMK Cost Calculation

The “DMK Cost Estimator” helps you quickly sum up three common cost components:

• Delivery: Any flat fee associated with getting the items to you or your customer.
• Material: The base cost of each item, potentially increased by a percentage markup to cover additional material handling, waste, or procurement expenses.
• Kitting: An additional fee per item for assembly, packaging, or custom grouping.

The calculation works like this:

Total DMK Cost = (Base Item Cost × Quantity × (1 + Material Markup% / 100)) + (Kitting Fee per Item × Quantity) + Delivery Fee

This simple formula provides a straightforward way to get a quick estimate. Remember, it’s a guide, and actual costs can vary depending on your specific suppliers, logistics, and operational nuances.
