Discount and price rise calculator

A discount comes out of what each sale leaves you, not out of the price. Put in your own numbers to see how many sales it takes to come out level, then try a second option beside it.

How to use it: pick one thing you sell. Enter what a customer pays, what one costs you to make or buy, and the change you’re thinking about. Round figures are fine. Leave GST out of both the price and the cost.

Option B is there to compare: a bigger discount, a price rise instead, or a different product.

This compares gross profit: sales less the cost of what you sold. Rent, wages and other running costs are left out because they usually stay the same whatever the price. The answer is only as good as your guess about how customers will react. Nothing you type is saved or sent anywhere.
