    How it works

    Methodology & formulas

    This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.

    Calculation steps

    1. 1DiscountedPrice = regularPrice − (regularPrice × discountValue% if percent) or regular − dollar value.
    2. 2PayhipFeeRegular = regularPrice × txn%.
    3. 3ProcessingRegular = regularPrice × proc% + fixed.
    4. 4RegularProfit = regularPrice − payhipFeeRegular − processingRegular − productCost.
    5. 5Same for discounted price.
    6. 6Margin = profit / price × 100.
    7. 7LossPerUnit = regularProfit − discountedProfit.
    8. 8TotalImpact = lossPerUnit × expectedUnits.
    9. 9BreakEvenExtra = totalImpact / regularProfit if regularProfit > 0.

    Formulas

    • Discounted = regular × (1 − %off) or regular − $off
    • PayhipFee = price × payhip%
    • Processing = price × proc% + fixed
    • Profit = price − fees − productCost
    • Margin = profit ÷ price × 100
    • LossPerUnit = regularProfit − discountedProfit
    • TotalImpact = lossPerUnit × expectedUnits

    Important assumptions

    • Discounted price = regular minus discount percent or dollar amount, floored at zero.
    • Payhip fee = revenue × transaction% at each price point.
    • Processing = revenue × proc% + fixed at each price point.
    • Profit per unit = price − payhipFee − processing − productCost.
    • Total impact compares discounted profit × expectedUnits versus same units at regular profit.
    • Break-even extra full-price sales uses profit loss per discounted unit divided by regular profit per unit if regular profit positive.
