Wildberries Logistics Calculator

How to Use the Wildberries Logistics Calculator

The Wildberries logistics cost calculator helps you estimate in seconds how much logistics will cost for a single item shipped to the platform. You do not need to create an account or install anything, and the calculations run instantly in your browser.

You need three pieces of information for the result:

• Volume in liters — how many liters the product or package you are shipping takes up. The default is 3 liters, but you can enter your own value.
• Destination tariff — the rate per liter for the destination you are shipping to. The default is 46 ₽ per liter; this is an approximate value that you change yourself.
• Returns percentage — what share of orders comes back to you. The default is 8%, and you can edit this number too.

After you enter the data, you will see two results: the cost of logistics alone and the cost of logistics increased by returns. With the default settings — 3 liters, 46 ₽ per liter, and 8% returns — the calculator shows 138.00 ₽ for logistics and 149.04 ₽ with returns included.

It is worth calculating several variants: a smaller and a larger package, and a rate higher than the one in your price list. You will then see how strongly the result depends on volume and tariff, and you can plan your selling price better.

How to Calculate Logistics Cost from Volume and Destination Tariff

The formula is short: logistics cost = volume in liters × destination tariff in rubles per liter.

Take volume from the dimensions of the product in the packaging in which it will be shipped. If you measure in centimeters, calculate the rectangular box (length × width × height) and convert the result to liters, because liters are the basis for this tool's calculations.

You enter the destination tariff yourself. It is a rate per liter that can vary by destination, warehouse, and the terms of your cooperation, so it is best to take it from current pricing rather than from memory.

Comparison for the default values:

Step-by-step example: 3 liters × 46 ₽ per liter = 138.00 ₽. That is the logistics cost before you add returns, which you will read about in the next section.

How to Include the Returns Percentage in Logistics Cost

Returns are an easy cost to overlook, and when selling online they can noticeably increase logistics expenses. That is why the calculator shows a second result: logistics with returns included.

The notation is simple: logistics with returns = logistics × (1 + returns percentage ÷ 100).

Where should you get the returns percentage? Best from your own data: check what share of orders came back in your sales over the last few weeks or months, and enter that value. If you are just starting out, use a more cautious, higher estimate, and update it after your first results.

For the default 8% returns, the calculation looks like this: 138.00 ₽ × (1 + 8 ÷ 100) = 138.00 ₽ × 1.08 = 149.04 ₽.

Keep in mind that this is a simplification: the tool adds returns as a percentage to the logistics cost, and it does not reproduce every situation that can happen with returns. The best results come from combining the calculator result with your knowledge of your own sales.

How to Verify Current Wildberries Rates and Coefficients

The values entered in the calculator are approximate and serve as a starting point. Rates and coefficients change over time and may depend on destination, warehouse, product category, and your individual terms, so before setting a price, use current sources.

• Seller dashboard — there you will find the current logistics pricing and information about the coefficients that apply to your shipments.
• Your invoices and reports — they show how much you actually paid for logistics in recent billing periods.
• Returns statistics — from them you can calculate your own returns percentage instead of relying on the default 8%.

A good practice is to recalculate the cost after every pricing change or after entering a new destination. Enter fresh rates and compare the result with the previous one — you will immediately see how much the logistics cost has changed. If you do not know the exact rate, calculate a variant with a value higher than expected and treat it as a safety margin.

Limitations: What the Calculator Does Not Include

The calculator focuses on one cost element: logistics based on volume and destination tariff, increased by returns. You must add everything else yourself.

• Other platform fees — sales commissions, goods acceptance fees, storage, and warehousing are not included in the result.
• Minimum fees — if a minimum logistics amount applies to your shipments, the calculator does not include it.
• Taxes and accounting settlements — the result is a logistics cost, not an amount payable after taxes.
• Currency exchange rates — conversions to another currency are not part of the calculation. Enter the rate in the currency you choose, and the result will be shown in that same currency.
• Your individual terms — contracts, discounts, and exceptions agreed with the platform are not known to the calculator.
• Pricing accuracy — the tool does not pull rates from the platform, so the result depends on the data you enter.

Treat the calculated amount as an approximate logistics cost, not as a full product profitability statement. When planning your price, add the other expenses and check current pricing so the calculation matches your situation.
