How to calculate packaged drinking water production cost
Calculate per-bottle and per-case costs by adding PET preforms, caps, labels, LD shrink, wastage, delivery, electricity, salaries and monthly production volume. Use selling price excluding output GST to compare revenue against costs. Allocate fixed expenses across all SKUs rather than charging every SKU for the entire factory overhead.

Packaged drinking water manufacturing cost depends on bottle size, pack count, PET preform weight, material rates, wastage and factory utilization. A 250 ml case with 24 bottles will have a different cost structure from a 1 litre case with 12 bottles. Enter your actual purchase prices and monthly production volumes; generic market averages are not reliable quotations.
