Instantly calculate gross profit, margin percentage and cost breakdown for any freight shipment.
Industry norms for freight forwarders vary by mode. Air freight typically targets 20–35% gross margin. Express couriers (DHL, FedEx) can exceed 30%. Sea freight (LCL/FCL) commonly runs 15–25%. Road freight is often tighter at 10–20%. Margins below 10% leave little room for error and should prompt a cost review.
