Aluminum Price Per Pound Calculator
Aluminum Price Per Pound Calculator
To calculate Aluminum Price, input Weight in pounds and current Market Cost per pound. Select Aluminum Grade and applicable Additional Costs. The calculator provides the Total Cost, including Processing Fees, Shipping Costs, and Grade Premium. For Bulk Orders, enter the total weight to calculate potential Volume Discounts.
How to Calculate Aluminum Price Per Lbs?
To calculate the Aluminum Price Per Pound, start with Base Market cost. Add Grade Premium based on alloy type and quality. Include Processing Costs for specific forms (sheet, bar, tube). Factor in Quantity Discounts for bulk orders and add Shipping Costs. The final price combines all these components to determine the total cost per pound of aluminum.
Formula for Aluminum Price Per LBS
Basic Price Calculation:
Total Cost = Weight × (Base Price + Grade Premium + Processing Fee)
where:
Base Price = Current market price per pound
Grade Premium = Additional cost for specific alloy
Processing Fee = Cost for form/finishing
Volume Discount:
Discounted Price = Base Price × (1 - Discount Rate)
where:
Discount Rate = Volume-based percentage reduction
Minimum Order = Weight threshold for discount
Shipping Cost:
Total Price = (Weight × Unit Price) + Shipping Rate
where:
Unit Price = Price per pound including premiums
Shipping Rate = Based on weight and distance
Example 1: Basic Sheet Aluminum
- Weight = 100 lbs
- Market Price = $1.20/lb
- Grade = 6061-T6
- Total Cost = $145.00
- Unit Cost = $1.45/lb
Example 2: Bulk Order
- Weight = 1000 lbs
- Market Price = $1.20/lb
- Volume Discount = 10%
- Total Cost = $1,080.00
- Unit Cost = $1.08/lb
Example 3: Premium Alloy
- Weight = 50 lbs
- Market Price = $1.20/lb
- Grade = 7075-T6
- Total Cost = $87.50
- Unit Cost = $1.75/lb
Example 4: Fabricated Parts
- Weight = 200 lbs
- Market Price = $1.20/lb
- Processing = $0.50/lb
- Total Cost = $340.00
- Unit Cost = $1.70/lb
Example 5: Small Order
- Weight = 25 lbs
- Market Price = $1.20/lb
- Handling Fee = $15.00
- Total Cost = $45.00
- Unit Cost = $1.80/lb
