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