So 4 dollars on a once a year purchase?

I want to know the cost on a daily or monthly product

This depends on the consumer...you may not purchase gloves but once a year but a contractor purchases on a monthly basis. That contractor will then pass on that to the consumer as well.

The glove example is one specific that was asked for. I can tell you that companies will raise retails for all products to absorb the larger increases. No one will be able to cite a very specific example unless you have insights to the retailer strategy. For example, you may pay 4-5% more on batteries to offset the 25% tariff on some major appliances.
