Realistic effect of China tariffs on consumer prices

I’ve been thinking about this one and everyone is afraid of prices skyrocketing 2X due to China tariffs. I’m wondering how much the 114% tariff actually affect prices? For example, if a $10 item sold in USA from a high volume brand with a total manufacturing cost of $2 is hit with the tariff, how much of a cost increase would this actually net to? Wouldn’t it be less than $2, with prices passed onto the buyer?
