Invoice Price Calculator

Invoice Price Calculator

We all know that the MSRP you see printed in the dealer’s price list and brochures are a total of different factors. In the more developed countries, consumers have access to the manufacturers’ invoice prices (the price it costs the dealer to “buy” the car) and hence can actually see how the dealers make money. To date, we have no system allowing us consumers to see invoice prices.

But now here’s the second-best thing. Our very own flipgear Invoice Calculator is now available for use. Just put in the car’s MSRP and click on “Calculate”. It will display the Invoice price and the dealer’s add-ons.

  • Overhead costs include advertising, marketing, and handling costs per car. This is usually between 1% to 5% of the invoice price.
  • Markup costs are the actual profits the dealer makes on your car. Most dealers put a 20% to 30% markup depending on the car’s popularity. This should be the basis of the discounts when negotiating with the dealer.

Note that the final MSRP would be a little higher than what you put in. This is because it only calculates on P1.00 increments.
