What Is the CIF Price Calculator?
The CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) calculator adds international freight and marine insurance on top of FOB to produce a landed quote before the destination port. CIF is widely used under Incoterms® 2020 for sea and inland waterway transport.
Enter FOB price, freight, and insurance rate to get an itemized CIF total. All processing runs locally in your browser. Pair with the FOB Calculator for a full export pricing workflow.
