Who runs QuoteCostCalc?
QuoteCostCalc is built and reviewed by Umar Dar, a procurement manager with hands-on experience in RFQ analysis, supplier evaluation, tendering and commercial approvals.
The tool is designed for buyers who need a quick, transparent comparison before preparing an award note, negotiation summary or internal approval.
What the calculator does
It adds the costs that often make supplier quotes hard to compare: tax, freight, customs duty, delivery, missing scope and payment or other commercial costs. The result is a ranked true-cost comparison across suppliers.
What it does not do
QuoteCostCalc does not replace ERP controls, supplier due diligence, legal review, engineering review or final purchase-order approval. It is a decision-support calculator for early commercial comparison.
