Global Price Parity Calculator
Shipping and duty are what let regional prices hold.

Price gap
23.56%
arbitrage is not worth it
The gap is smaller than the $13.53 cost of arbitrage, so the two prices can coexist. Shipping and duty are what allow regional pricing to hold at all.
How the Global Price Parity Calculator works
Regional pricing survives only while the gap between markets is smaller than the cost of moving goods between them. Once it is not, grey-market resellers arbitrage the difference, erode the higher price and annoy your local distributors.
Not financial advice. Marketplace fees change, and they vary by country, plan and seller status. Every rate here is an editable default, not a quoted price — check the platform's current fee schedule before you price a product against it. This is not tax or business advice.
Frequently asked questions
How large a price gap can I sustain?
Up to the cost of shipping and duty between the markets, less whatever effort a reseller requires. Beyond that, arbitrage becomes profitable and someone will do it.
What is grey market arbitrage?
Buying legitimately in a cheap market and reselling in an expensive one. It is usually legal and always disruptive to regional pricing and distributor relationships.
How do I prevent it?
Keep gaps below arbitrage cost, differentiate specification or warranty by region, control distribution, or accept it as the cost of regional pricing.
Do digital goods have this problem?
Worse, because the arbitrage cost is nearly zero — only geo-verification prevents it. That is why digital regional pricing depends on account-level enforcement rather than logistics.
