We Built the Tool We Wished
We Had Before Our Failed Launch
MOQBridge started with a painful story — and a simple promise to every ecommerce seller in India: know your real costs before you spend a single rupee.
We Spent ₹47,000 and Learned the Hard Way
In 2023, a friend decided to start an ecommerce business. The idea was simple — import eco-friendly bamboo water bottles from China, brand them, and sell on Amazon India. The market research looked great. The product photos were stunning. The optimism was real.
The MOQ from the supplier was 200 units. The unit cost was ₹120. The plan was to sell at ₹699 per bottle — a healthy margin on paper. ₹24,000 went to the supplier. ₹8,000 went to air freight. ₹3,000 went to packaging. ₹2,000 went to GST registration and FSSAI compliance. ₹10,000 went to an Amazon-optimised listing service that never delivered results.
Total invested: ₹47,000.
What was never calculated upfront: Amazon India takes 18% referral fees. Add 5% closing fees. Add INR conversion loss. Add returns — which were 12% in the first month. The product that looked like a ₹400 profit per unit turned into a ₹60 loss per unit once every real cost was counted. 140 bottles were sold. 60 were returned or unsold. The business was shut down after three months.
MOQBridge Is Your Pre-Launch Intelligence Platform
MOQBridge is a free AI-powered tool that does one thing extremely well: it helps you calculate the real, total cost of launching a product before you commit your money.
Not just the supplier cost. Not just the shipping cost. Everything. MOQ, manufacturing, packaging, shipping, import duty, platform fees, return rates, storage fees, marketing budget, and profit margin — all in one place, all in Indian Rupees, all in under 5 minutes.
We combine a suite of precision calculators with an AI viability engine that scores your product from 0 to 100 and tells you exactly where the risk is — before you spend a rupee.
Everything You Need to Launch Confidently
Eight specialised calculators and an AI engine — all working together to give you the complete financial picture.
MOQ Calculator
Enter your product category, region, and complexity — get an immediate recommended minimum order quantity range with supplier negotiation tips.
Product Cost Calculator
Break down your true cost per unit: materials, labour, overhead, regional multipliers. Know your COGS before you talk to a single supplier.
Shipping Cost Calculator
Compare sea freight vs air freight vs courier for your shipment weight and dimensions. See the real landed cost, not just the advertised rate.
Profit Margin Calculator
Enter your sell price and platform — get your net profit after every fee: referral, closing, FBA/FBF, GST, and returns.
Packaging Cost Estimator

Import Duty Calculator
Calculate applicable import duties, IGST, and custom handling for your product category and country of origin.
Break-Even Planner
Know exactly how many units you need to sell to recover your total investment at your chosen price point.

Built for India

Privacy First
We do not store your product data, prices, or business plans. All calculations run in your browser. Your competitive intelligence stays with you.
The Real Benefits of Using MOQBridge Before You Launch
Most ecommerce failures are not caused by a bad product idea. They are caused by a gap between what a seller thinks the costs are and what the costs actually are. That gap — between the Excel spreadsheet built on assumptions and the reality of supplier invoices, freight bills, and platform charges — is exactly what MOQBridge is designed to close.
Here is what changes when you use MOQBridge before placing your first order:
You stop wasting money on unprofitable products
The most expensive lesson in ecommerce is learning that a product does not work after you have already ordered 200 units. MOQBridge surfaces the unprofitability in minutes, not months. A 5-minute calculation can save you ₹30,000 to ₹2,00,000 in wasted inventory.
You negotiate with suppliers from a position of knowledge
When you know your exact target COGS before talking to a supplier, you are not guessing. You walk into the negotiation knowing the maximum unit price that makes your business viable. Suppliers respect buyers who know their numbers.
You launch faster because the plan is already validated
Sellers who use MOQBridge report spending far less time in the planning phase because the numbers are already clear. Instead of going back and forth between spreadsheets and supplier emails for weeks, they validate in a day and move to action.
You set the right price from day one
Pricing mistakes on Amazon or Flipkart are expensive to fix. List too low and you erode your margin for weeks before you adjust. MOQBridge calculates your minimum viable price based on real costs, so you list at the right price on launch day.
You build investor confidence with real data
If you are raising money from family, friends, or angel investors, presenting a MOQBridge AI Viability Report alongside your pitch deck shows that your financial projections are grounded in real cost structures — not hope.
How the Technology Works
MOQBridge is not a generic financial calculator with Indian flag branding slapped on it. The calculation engine was built using real data from the Indian ecommerce ecosystem — actual Amazon India fee schedules, real Flipkart referral rates, current air and sea freight rates from major Chinese ports to Indian gateways, domestic logistics costs from major courier aggregators, and typical MOQ ranges from over 200 product categories.
The AI Viability engine uses a weighted scoring model that evaluates six independent factors: profit margin achievability, MOQ versus budget fit, logistics cost as a percentage of sale price, market demand signal, competition density, and break-even speed. Each factor is scored independently and then combined into a single viability score with transparent explanations.
All calculations run client-side in your browser. We do not send your product details, pricing, or business data to any external server. Your competitive intelligence is yours.
