# How does Algrano calculate these costs?

There are multiple categories of costs associated with coffee buying:

 **[FCA/FOT](https://help.algrano.com/what-is-fca-1?hsLang=en) price** covers everything involved in getting the coffee to the Final Warehouse. This includes:

- **[FOB price](https://help.algrano.com/what-is-fob?hsLang=en):** The price the producer sets.
- **[Logistics to Final Warehouse:](https://help.algrano.com/what-does-the-freight-import-outhousing-cost-include?hsLang=en)** Ocean freight, import, outhousing, and every other cost of moving the coffee from origin to the final warehouse.
- **[Service fee](https://help.algrano.com/what-is-the-algrano-fee?hsLang=en):** Covers platform infrastructure, transaction processing, trade documentation, and customer support for your coffee purchase.

[**Carry**](https://help.algrano.com/what-is-the-cost-of-carry?hsLang=en) is the cost associated with storing coffee once it has landed at the Final Warehouse. With Algrano, your first 30 days of warehouse rent are free, and your first 5 days of warehouse financing are free. After that, you accrue storage costs as outlined in your contract.

[**Road transport**](https://help.algrano.com/how-do-i-create-a-release-1?hsLang=en) is the cost to deliver the coffee from the Final Warehouse to your roastery location.

- If you schedule a**[DDP Release](https://youtu.be/I8v0ikTpG2A?si=u3qXBQvK5oYwbzyT)**, Algrano will coordinate delivery from the warehouse to your roastery and bill you for the associated costs.
- If you schedule an [**FCA/FOT release**](https://youtu.be/hJHGjsDCG4o?si=Va6MS8CtWjmnaT-j), you will work with your own carrier and pay them directly. Algrano will not charge you additional road transport costs.

If you have any questions about pricing,  please contact us at support@algrano.com.
