Tariff Price Pass Through with starting tariff price pass through value of 250 value: a worked example

Push starting tariff price pass through value up to 250 value and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when tariff price pass through in reshoring and tariff strategy is being planned and you need to net-out known deductions.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Starting tariff price pass through value: 250 value (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)
  • First tariff price pass through deduction: 8 value (unchanged)
  • Second tariff price pass through deduction: 4 value (unchanged)
  • Third tariff price pass through deduction: 2 value (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Total tariff price pass through deductions = first tariff price pass through deduction + second tariff price pass through deduction + third tariff price pass through deduction) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 236 units for remaining tariff price pass through value, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 14 value for total tariff price pass through deductions.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 250 value for starting tariff price pass through value.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 94.4 % for utilization.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where starting tariff price pass through value sits at 100 value and the headline result is 86 units, this scenario comes in 174% above the baseline at 236 units.
  • It sums up to three deductions, subtracts them from a starting value, and returns the remaining value plus utilization as a percent of the original. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.
