Sourcing, procurement & engineering calculators

Free, mobile-friendly tools for component sourcing and everyday circuit work — and a set of calculators for the procurement side of buying chips: comparing supplier quotes, generating an RFQ or purchase order, quotation, proforma invoice and packing list documents, working out late-delivery deductions, deciding on cash discounts and counting your cost savings. Everything runs in your browser; no data is sent anywhere.

Procurement

Quote evaluation, documents and supplier-facing math.

RFQ / purchase order generator

Build a clean, standard B2B request for quotation or purchase order in the browser and print it or save it as a PDF — no template files or account needed.

Quotation generator

Create a standard sales quotation with Incoterms, payment terms, validity, discount, tax and a SAY TOTAL line — print or save as PDF.

Proforma invoice (PI) generator

Draft a proforma invoice with HS codes, ports, consignee, bank details and payment terms for an L/C, T/T transfer or customs clearance.

Packing list generator

List carton numbers, quantities, gross/net weights and dimensions with automatic volume in m³ — the packing list customs and forwarders work from.

Multi-supplier quote comparison

Weigh up 3–5 quotes on price, lead time, payment terms and warranty, with a visual price comparison, gross margin at your resale price and weighted scoring that ranks the best-value supplier.

Landed cost & tariff calculator

Turn a FOB quote into a landed, tax-inclusive price by adding freight, import duty, VAT and brokerage fees.

BOM cost calculator

Add up BOM line items with quantity, unit price, FX and margin — total cost, per-unit and top spend.

Price break calculator

Compare tiered pricing and find out whether buying a higher quantity break is cheaper than your exact order — with the saving spelled out.

Tape & reel vs cut-tape calculator

Compare full reels against mixing in cut-tape for any quantity — cheapest option, handling fee effect and surplus stock at a glance.

BOM text extractor

Paste a messy order message and instantly pull out part numbers, quantities and attributes into a clean, copyable table.

Margin vs markup calculator

Solve cost, selling price, margin and markup from any two values — and see why 25% margin is not 25% markup.

Cash discount vs funding cost

Is 2/10 net 60 worth taking? Convert the discount into an annualised yield, compare with your cost of capital, and see the net saving.

Cost savings (PPV) calculator

Turn old price, new price and annual volume into your purchase price variance — with a ready-to-paste summary sentence for a year-end report.

Late-delivery penalty calculator

Turn a contract clause into the exact deduction: days late, daily rate and cap, plus the final payment figure to notify the supplier.

Exchange rate buffer calculator

Reserve the right FX buffer on a foreign-currency order from volatility and payment horizon — compared with your current reserve.

SMD capacitor code calculator

Decode ceramic SMD capacitor markings — the 3-digit pF code, tolerance letter and voltage code — into a readable value.

Inductor color code calculator

Decode the color bands on an inductor into microhenries — military MIL-PRF-15305 style.

LED resistor calculator

Find the resistor and its power rating for any LED from supply voltage, forward voltage and target current.

LED string / array calculator

Design an LED array in series, parallel or matrix: drive resistor, supply current and power.

Buck / boost DC-DC converter calculator

Design a buck or boost converter: duty cycle, average switch current and the inductor value from ripple spec.

DC-DC feedback resistor calculator

Find the feedback divider for an adjustable buck or boost from target output voltage and Vref.

LDO thermal & dropout calculator

Estimate LDO power dissipation, junction temperature and dropout voltage from input/output and load.

Heatsink / thermal resistance calculator

Check whether a power device needs a heatsink and what sink-to-air resistance holds the junction under its limit.

Heatsink sizing calculator

Work out the heatsink-to-ambient thermal resistance you need from power, junction budget and package.

System power budget calculator

Add up multiple loads per voltage rail, compute total current and headroom for a supply — and estimate battery life.

Estimate runtime from battery capacity (mAh), average current and duty cycle — for IoT and portable designs.

MOSFET power dissipation calculator

Estimate MOSFET conduction and switching losses from Rds(on), frequency, gate charge and current.

Capacitor charge & ripple calculator

Capacitor charging time, stored energy and the ripple voltage on a rectified DC rail.

RC filter cutoff calculator

Work out the −3 dB cutoff of an RC low-pass or high-pass filter — or find the R or C for a target frequency.
