Reshoring & Tariff Strategy worked example

Supplier Relocation ROI with one-time relocation & tooling transfer cost of 12,500 $: a worked example

Suppose one-time relocation & tooling transfer cost falls to 12,500 $. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Estimate supplier relocation roi for reshoring and tariff strategy using production-ready inputs so teams can screen a capital project before a detailed business case.

The inputs for this scenario

  • One-time relocation & tooling transfer cost: 12,500 $ (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 25,000)
  • Annual landed-cost savings after relocation: 18,000 $ / yr (held at the documented default)
  • Annual dual-source & oversight cost at new supplier: 2,500 $ / yr (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Net annual supplier relocation roi savings = annual supplier relocation roi savings - annual supplier relocation roi support cost.
  • Supplier relocation roi payback period works out to 0.81 yr at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Net annual supplier relocation roi savings works out to 15,500 $ / yr at these inputs.
  • Supplier relocation roi investment works out to 12,500 $ at these inputs.
  • Five-year net supplier relocation roi value works out to 65,000 $ at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where one-time relocation & tooling transfer cost sits at 25,000 $ and the headline result is 1.61 yr, this scenario comes in 50% below the baseline at 0.81 yr.
  • It computes the payback period in years for a supplier relocation by dividing the one-time transfer cost by the net annual savings (gross savings minus ongoing oversight cost). When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.
