UOM Converter
Electrical distributors quote prices per each (E), per 100 (C) or per 1,000 (M), and wire is usually priced per M feet. These calculators convert between those units, work out net prices from list price and multiplier, and turn margin into markup. They also count the boxes, packs, coils and reels an order needs.
Price per E / C / MDistributor price units: E is per each, C is per 100, M is per 1,000. Wire is usually priced per M feet.- Wire price per ft ↔ mWire price per ft, per 100 ft (C), per 1,000 ft (M), per metre and per km.
- List × multiplierNet price from list price. Discounts can be chained: "50/10" is 50% off, then 10% off that.
- Margin ↔ markupMargin is profit as a % of the sell price; markup is profit as a % of cost. 25% margin = 33.3% markup.
- Boxes & packsHow many packs to order for a quantity, and price per each ↔ per pack.
- Wire coils & reelsCoils or reels needed to cover a run. Three wires pulled 200 ft is 600 ft of wire.
Quick answers
- Price per E / C / M: $450.00 per 1,000 (M) → Per each (E): $0.45
- Wire price per ft ↔ m: $450.00 / M ft → Per metre: $1.47638 / m
- List × multiplier: 50/10% off $100.00 list → Net price: $45.00
- Margin ↔ markup: 25% margin on $75.00 cost → Sell price: $100.00
- Boxes & packs: 250 each, in packs of 100 → Packs to order: 3
- Wire coils & reels: 3 × 200 ft run, 500 ft coils or reels → Coils / reels to order: 2
