Discount ceiling calculator

Estimate the largest discount that still leaves your chosen contribution after variable cost and a percentage fee.

Example inputs are illustrative, not recommended prices. Your entries stay in this page's memory; this tool does not send, save or apply them to your store.

How the calculation works

First find the required retained price: (cost + target) ÷ (1 − fee rate). Compare it with the current selling price. If the required price is higher, there is no feasible discount in this model.

Worked example

At ₹1,000, ₹600 cost, ₹150 minimum contribution and 2% fee, the retained price must be at least ₹765.31 when rounded up to paise.

Use the result carefully

Shipping subsidies, other discounts and provider-specific fee bases can reduce the real ceiling. Enter a complete cost boundary.

Choose a consistent time period and cost boundary. Keep a note of where each input came from, then compare the scenario with actual results. Money is displayed in rupees to two decimal places; calculation precision and rounding are described above.

Before using this in your business

  1. Replace every example input with a value you can explain.
  2. Check that taxes, refunds, shipping, labour and fixed costs are included or excluded deliberately.
  3. Run a conservative scenario as well as your expected case.
  4. Do not treat the output as a price quotation, tax advice, credit decision or automatic store setting.
