Cost per unit - final product
Hi guys,
What would you say is a reasonable cost per unit (including carton, component, formula) for a product retailing $60 USD.
I know it’s sort of a complex question with many variables to come into play…
As an example - if I were to say the cost per unit of a $60 USD 1fl oz of a cream was approx. $5.30 USD - manufacturing 10,000 units in the country of origin, would you say that was pretty steep?
Thanks for your input!

That sounds like a reasonable figure. In truth, I don’t think the retail price has much to do with the cost of goods when you start charging that much.
You could make a good cream formula for less than $2 a pound which means ~13 cents a unit for just the formula. The packaging is where all the cost is.
