Tariff Impact Calculator
🇺🇸 US-specific: 2026 tariff policy has changed repeatedly — enter the rate for your specific product (check CBP.gov / USTR.gov), or use a reference preset.
Tariff presets reflect currently-known 2026 sector tariffs at time of writing (Section 232 steel/aluminum and autos, a typical Section 301 forced-labor-list rate) — not a lookup for your specific product. Reciprocal (IEEPA-based) tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court in February 2026 and partially replaced, so rates change; verify your product's actual rate before making a purchase decision. The pass-through percentage lets you model that importers and retailers don't always pass 100% of a tariff's cost on to the price you pay.
Free tariff impact calculator — enter an item's pre-tariff price and a tariff rate to see the added cost, the new price, and the percent increase, with an adjustable pass-through assumption since retailers don't always pass 100% of a tariff on to shelf prices.
How it works
- Enter the pre-tariff price, pick a tariff rate (a few currently-known 2026 reference rates, or your own), and quantity
- Adjust the cost pass-through percentage — how much of the tariff cost gets passed to the price you pay, versus absorbed elsewhere in the supply chain
- See the tariff amount, the new price, and the percent price increase, instantly
Frequently asked questions
Why doesn't this calculator just tell me the tariff rate for my product?
US tariff policy in 2025-2026 has changed repeatedly and depends on the exact product classification (HTS code), country of origin, and legal authority involved — reciprocal tariffs under one legal authority were struck down by the Supreme Court in February 2026 and partially replaced, while separate sector tariffs (steel, aluminum, autos) remain in force under different rules. Rather than guess and risk being wrong, this tool lets you enter the rate that applies to your specific situation (check CBP.gov or USTR.gov for current rates) and does the math correctly.
Does 100% of a tariff always get passed on to the price I pay?
Not necessarily. Economic research on pass-through shows importers, retailers, and manufacturers sometimes absorb part of a tariff's cost rather than passing all of it to consumers, especially in competitive markets. This calculator defaults to 100% pass-through but lets you adjust it to model a more conservative estimate.
