// C = InitialPrice, I = Insurance, F = Shipping
DutyPayable = (InitialPrice + Insurance + Shipping)/100 * DutyRate;

//Add shipping and Insurance to initial price
InitialPrice += Insurance + Shipping;

// Apply Duty
InitialPrice += DutyPayable;

// Calculate VAT 
VatPayable =  InitialPrice/100 * VatRate;

// Apply VAT
TotalPrice = InitialPrice + VatPayable;

Think this is what we need?

This is getting a little embarrassing

I think you've got it, should be a very useful tool and that you are doing it for free is great.

Here's how I would do it:

// Calculate CIF
CIF = Cost + Insurance + Frieght

// Calculate Duty
DutyPayable = CIF / 100 * DutyRate

// Calculate VAT
VatPayable = (CIF + DutyPayable) / 100 * VatRate

// Apply Duty + VAT
TotalPrice = CIF + DutyPayable + VatPayable

Yes, I was just thinking that before I logged in DM
This is so simple, I feel like such a tool, LOL
Just that I couldn't find a simple formula for this anywhere.
Thankyou both heaps for this!

I'm going to fix this and upload it now.

Thanks DSC
I enjoy programming as a hobby, Still much to learn though

[Jezz]

Ok.. just uploaded the new version, which I think is actually working now.

Still needs an icon, I'm still searching for a suitable free one.

Edit: Ok bought an icon for a couple of bucks (better than me trying to make one )
I'm thinking that this probably won't stay something that doesn't need installation.
By making it an installed app I can then save settings to the registery etc..

That way the rates don't have to be hard coded, You'll be able to add your own products rates etc. And I've just found a webservice for currency conversion.
This means that I can add a currency convertor that will (optionally) update it's conversion values automatically.

A few more things that I've thought of as well.. but I won't promise too much at once

[Jezz]

I've just added a new version,
This has a currency converter, And uses a webservice to download the conversion rates.
And now it even has an icon! lol

I haven't done much in the way of error handling on the webservice bit...
So it will probably crash if you try to download rates without an internet connect.
I'll do something with this soon.

Cheers,

Jeremy

I haven't bothered doing any more with this.
It does throw an exception if there is no active connection and you try to download the conversion rates.
It's a fairly easy problem to fix but I've been too slack!
Actually I'm quite bored with it now, lol

Is anybody using this?
(if there is I'll fix it)

Hi kkell69,

The problem is most likely that you do not have the .net framework 1.1 installed
It's available here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

It's a fairly large download though (22mb) And will only work on xp or vista.
Bummer hey, I need to learn C++
Then my stuff will run on anything.

Edit:
I was wrong the .net framework 1.1 will run on these systems:

Windows 2000; Windows 98; Windows 98 Second Edition; Windows ME; Windows NT; Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 for Itanium-based Systems; Windows Server 2003 x64 editions; Windows Vista Business; Windows Vista Enterprise; Windows Vista Home Basic; Windows Vista Home Premium; Windows Vista Starter; Windows Vista Ultimate; Windows XP; Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

It's a pain to have to download such a large file just to run this simple little program, but many other programs also require this to run.

Cheers,
Jeremy
