Convert a count, work a fabric consumption or build a landed cost in the browser, or download the spreadsheets and keep them. Nothing is gated.
Every file is rebuilt from the same figures the pages show, each time the site is published, so a file cannot disagree with the page it came from.
The calculators run in the browser, so you can convert a count, work a fabric consumption or build a landed cost without downloading anything. All 25 spreadsheets are there when you want to keep a copy, change the assumptions or send one to a colleague, and each carries a second sheet called How to read it in plain English, so a file you open in six months still makes sense. They are shelved by what you buy rather than by file type: fibre, yarn, fabric, garments, and a shelf for the tools everybody needs. Nothing is gated and nothing asks for an email address.
10 of them are calculators. Type your own numbers into the yellow cells and the sheet answers, because the derived cells hold live formulas rather than answers we worked out and pasted.
For a PDF, open any page and use Print or save as PDF. The print stylesheet lays the page out for A4, opens every "What this means" disclosure so nothing is lost on paper, drops the navigation, and puts our name and the source URL in the page footer.
The five most-asked calculations, working on this page. Type and the answer follows. Everything runs on your own device: nothing you type here is sent to us or stored anywhere. Each tool links its full spreadsheet underneath, which does the same arithmetic with more room, offline, in Excel.
What this is Five live calculators: yarn count conversion across seven numbering systems, woven fabric weight from the construction, a container rate turned into freight per kilogram, a garment or home textile landed cost with the base duty, the United States extra layer for your origin and the VAT filled in from our duty page, and the interest cost of a payment term at your own borrowing rate, all computed on your device as you type.
How to read it Each calculator is a small form above a list of answers: type in the boxes and every answer row refreshes as you type, with the figure's name on the left and the result on the right. A row saying waiting for a number means a box above it is empty. Where the site already knows a figure it is filled in for you, and each prefill says where it came from: the freight tool starts at this week's index rate, and in the landed cost tool the duty rate, the US extra layer and the VAT fill themselves when you pick the market and the origin, the VAT staying yours to edit. Read the landed cost's first two rows before trusting its total: they state the duty rate used, the base it is charged on, and what was added for the United States. The payment terms tool starts empty on purpose: every figure in it is yours or your bank's, and none is ours to guess.
What moves it Only what you type. The outside ingredients are the base duty rate and the US extra layer in the landed cost tool, which come from the same schedule readings as our duty page, each with the date it was read, and change when a budget or a trade notice changes them.
How to use it A thirty second sanity check before the real work: whether a quoted count, weight, freight rate, landed price or credit term is even in the right neighbourhood, and which of the five numbers deserves the argument.
The trap These are planning figures. The fabric tool's allowances are assumptions, the freight tool is the ocean leg only, the landed cost uses the base duty with no preference claimed and adds only the one US layer it knows about, not the processing and harbour fees, the cotton assessment or any antidumping order, and the payment terms tool is simple interest at a rate you supply, not a bank's quote. A calculator that agrees with a quote does not replace a broker, a test report or a sealed sample.
One count, read in every system. Bridged through tex, exactly as the spreadsheet does it.
| Ne, English cotton | |
|---|---|
| Nm, metric | |
| Tex | |
| Denier | |
| Dtex | |
| Worsted | |
| Two of it plied, resultant |
2/40s normally means two 40s singles, a resultant 20s; parts of the trade use the same marks for the resultant. Make the mill state singles and resultant in writing.
Construction in, GSM and yarn consumption out. The allowances are planning figures.
| GSM, grams per square metre | |
|---|---|
| Ounces per square yard | |
| Yarn per metre of fabric | |
| Metres per kg of yarn |
A calculated GSM tells you what to expect and what to argue about. Only a sealed sample and a test report tell you what you are buying.
Freight is quoted per box but carried per kilogram. The payload cell changes the answer most.
The box rate starts at this week's market: the Freightos Baltic Index (FBX) global composite, $3,356.50 per 40 ft, dated 16 October 2026, from terminal.freightos.com. Type your own quote over it.
| Freight per kg | |
|---|---|
| In US cents per lb | |
| Share of the goods price | |
| Per garment at 250 g |
Ocean leg only, our arithmetic on a rate you supply. Origin handling, destination charges, duty and inland movement are all outside it.
Garments and home textiles. The base duty and the VAT rate fill themselves from the same readings as our duty page when you pick the market, and for the United States the extra layer on your origin is added from the same page. The United States charges duty on essentially the FOB value; Europe, Britain and the Gulf charge on CIF, and their VAT then lands on the value plus the duty.
| Base duty rate used | |
|---|---|
| US extra layer | |
| Duty per piece | |
| VAT per piece | |
| Landed, per piece |
Base rate with no preference claimed. For the United States the one extra layer this page knows, the section 301 rate on your origin, is added when you pick the origin, from the reading dated 2 September 2026; the processing and harbour fees, the cotton assessment and any antidumping order are not. VAT rates are yours to confirm, and rates change at every budget. Ask your broker before you quote.

What a deposit and a credit period cost you in interest, at your own borrowing rate. Simple interest, counted by the day, nothing else assumed. Two quotes on two different terms compare on this one line.
| Interest on the deposit | |
|---|---|
| Interest on the balance | |
| Cost of the terms, in total | |
| As a share of the order value |
Every box starts empty because none of these figures is ours to know: the deposit and the days come from the term you are offered, and the rate is what your own bank charges you. The deposit is financed from the day it leaves you until your customer pays; the balance from the day it is paid until then. A letter of credit has bank charges of its own that this sum does not include.

Cotton, the world balance sheet and the fibre property tables. The top of the chain: everything below it is priced off these, so a yarn or fabric buyer is often better off reading this shelf than their own.
The specification lines from our fibre guide as a blank form. Answer each row in the yellow cells, send it with your enquiry, and the offers that come back compare because every merchant priced the same stated thing. A calculator, not a table: the yellow cells are yours to type in.
The world and US reference figures as read on the date shown.

The allowances weight is settled on, every one of them from Annex IX of Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011. Agreed conventions, not measurements. Confirm the figure your own contract names.
A converter you type your count into, a costing structure with every rate left blank for you, the full conversion matrix, and the American producer price history that tests a mill saying the market moved.
The specification lines from our yarn guide as a blank form. Answer each row in the yellow cells, send it with your enquiry, and the quotes that come back compare because every mill priced the same stated thing. A calculator, not a table: the yellow cells are yours to type in.
Type your count and the system it is quoted in, and read it in every other system. Every figure below the two yellow cells is a live formula. A calculator, not a table: the yellow cells are yours to type in.
The shape of a yarn cost, for a single fibre or for a blend of up to three, with every rate a cell you type. It carries no figure of ours and no market price of any kind. A calculator, not a table: the yellow cells are yours to type in.
Every rule for converting between the seven yarn count systems, generated from the definition of each system.
The last 24 months of each index. Different series use different base periods, so the levels must not be divided by one another as published.
Each month is expressed as a percentage of its own calendar year average, and those figures are then averaged across the complete years in the window. Expressing a month against its own year removes the trend, so what is left is the shape of the year rather than inflation. 103 means that month typically sat three per cent above the year it belonged to. A seasonal average is a description of the past. It is not a forecast, it carries no confidence interval, and any single year can and does ignore it. It is computed from US producer price indexes, so it describes US producer prices and nothing else.
Construction to weight to yarn consumption, as a calculator and as worked examples, plus a costing structure. There is no honest published fabric index anywhere, so a fabric price is built up from yarn, conversion and freight, and these are the three files that let you build it.
The specification lines from our fabric guide as a blank form. Answer each row in the yellow cells, send it with your enquiry, and the quotes that come back compare because every mill priced the same stated cloth. A calculator, not a table: the yellow cells are yours to type in.
Type a construction into the input cells and read the weight and the yarn it will eat. Every figure below the inputs is a live formula. A calculator, not a table: the yellow cells are yours to type in.
The shape of a woven or knitted fabric cost, with every rate a cell you type. It carries no figure of ours and no market price of any kind. A calculator, not a table: the yellow cells are yours to type in.
Three woven constructions taken from construction to weight and to yarn consumption. Crimp allowances are planning figures, not specifications.
Two costing structures and two trade files. The trade files answer where to make it, the garment costing answers what it should be built from, and the first order sheet answers the question a brand asks before either of those: what will it actually cost me to get it through customs.
One garment order costed into the United States, Europe and the Gulf at the same time, so the three landed costs can be compared honestly. It carries no duty rate, freight rate or fee of ours. A calculator, not a table: the yellow cells are yours to type in.
The shape of a garment cost, with every rate a cell you type. It carries no figure of ours and no market price of any kind. A calculator, not a table: the yellow cells are yours to type in.

Showing a figure on a page and handing over a file of figures are different acts under most data licences. These are shown on the site and are not ours to pass on. The reason is the licence itself in every case, not caution for its own sake.
| Dataset | Where it is shown | Why it is not downloadable |
|---|---|---|
| Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange settlements | /raw-materials/numbers/fibre/#polyester | The exchange's daily settlement table is not reproduced on the site at all. Individual settlements are quoted as facts with the trading day attached, and a file of them would be a reproduction of the table. Excluded entirely. |
| Drewry World Container Index | /raw-materials/numbers/landed/#freight | Drewry is a link only. We publish no Drewry figure anywhere on the site, so there is nothing to export. |
| SCFI and CCFI lane tables | /raw-materials/numbers/landed/#freight | The Shanghai Shipping Exchange lane tables are not reproduced. A small number of lanes are quoted on the page for context with the source named; a file of them would be a redistribution of the table itself. Excluded. |
| UN Comtrade garment and yarn tables | /garments/numbers/products/#products | The UN policy on use and re-dissemination waives the licence for free of charge visualisation and for small extracts. A downloadable file of a forty line tariff table is neither: it is bulk re-dissemination. Shown on the site, not exported. European and UK trade figures cover much of the same ground and are exportable, so the Europe file below is the download for a garment buyer. |
| Gujcot daily spot rate list | /raw-materials/numbers/fibre/#benchmarks | Gujcot publishes its daily list openly for the trade and we link to it rather than reproducing it. The single headline rate is quoted as a fact with attribution; the list is not ours to hand on. |
What this is A list of the datasets that appear on our pages but that we are not permitted to hand on as a file, with the licence reason for each. It changes only when a publisher changes its terms.
How to read it Three columns per row: the dataset, the page of this site where you can still SEE its figures, and the licence reason we cannot hand it over as a file. This table is the exceptions list only; everything on the shelves above it is downloadable, and each shelf card states its data date, its size and the page it comes from.
What moves it The publisher's own terms of use. A commercial index house sells the data, so quoting a figure in context is fair use and shipping the series is redistribution. A statistical agency may allow visualisation and small extracts while forbidding bulk re-dissemination.
How to use it If a figure you need is on this list, take it from the original publisher directly rather than from us. The row tells you which page shows it, so you can see the number and then go to the named source for the file.
The trap Reading a short list here as a thin site. The opposite is true: everything not on this list is downloadable, and a data house that publishes no exclusions at all has usually not read its licences.
One dataset is exportable only on a condition, and the condition travels inside the file: the Freightos FBX index may be reproduced with full credit to Freightos and a link, so wherever an FBX figure appears in an export, the credit and the link are on the same page of the file rather than in a footnote somewhere else.
Every file here is a real .xlsx spreadsheet. Excel, LibreOffice, Numbers and Google Sheets all open it directly. In Google Sheets use File, then Import, then Upload, and choose Replace spreadsheet.
A CSV file is only text: it cannot hold a date format, a thousands separator or a percentage, so the same figure came out looking different in different files and there was no way to fix it inside the file. In a spreadsheet the format belongs to the column, so a date is a date everywhere and a number will sum, sort and chart.
The calculators contain formulas, not saved answers. That is deliberate: a saved answer could sit in a cell whose inputs you had just changed. Your spreadsheet works them out when it opens the file. If a cell shows #####, the column is simply too narrow for the formatted number: widen it and the figure is there.
Every source we read, with its licence
Files on this page were generated 17 October 2026 at 12:38 Pakistan time.
No. Nothing on this page is gated. The files download on a click and the calculators run in the browser without an account, a trial or a sign up.
Every file is rebuilt from the same figures the pages show, each time the site is published, and the figures in the yellow cells are round placeholders for you to replace with your own quote.
That is what they are for. The yellow cells are meant to be overwritten with the figures your own supplier gave you. The How to read it sheet in each file says which cells are inputs and which are calculated, so you do not overwrite a formula by accident.
Because it is licensed to us and not ours to pass on. The page has a section that says which sources those are and why, and the sources page links you to the publisher so you can go and get it directly if you need it.
