$2,688.00 change before fixed costs.
24.4% max volume loss
A price increase can raise margin while lowering volume. A price cut can lift revenue while hurting contribution. Compare current and proposed price with unit volume, variable cost, fixed cost, and the volume needed to preserve profit before committing.
| Metric | Current | Proposed | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly units | 400 | 368 | -32 |
| Monthly revenue | $19,600.00 | $21,712.00 | $2,112.00 |
| Gross profit | $12,400.00 | $15,088.00 | $2,688.00 |
| Gross margin | 63.3% | 69.5% | 6.2 points |
| Net after fixed costs | $6,400.00 | $9,088.00 | $2,688.00 |
| Units for same revenue | 400 | 332.2 | Revenue hold |
Use this for planning and comparison. Contracts, collections, payables, tax timing, payroll, refunds, one-time bills, seasonality, and accounting treatment can change the real business result.
Quick answer
Pricing Change Impact Calculator calculates pricing impact from current price, proposed price, current units per month, expected volume change, variable cost per unit and fixed cost per month. The visible formula is Projected profit = projected units x (proposed price - variable cost) - fixed cost.
Formula
Projected profit = projected units x (proposed price - variable cost) - fixed costProjected units use the expected volume change. Break-even volume shows how many units are needed at the proposed price to preserve current gross profit.

Before relying on it
Details
These notes make the assumptions explicit, especially where the same search query can mean slightly different things.
A higher price usually improves contribution per unit unless the volume loss is large enough to offset it.
The key question is how much volume can fall before the proposed price stops protecting current gross profit.
Fixed cost does not change per unit, but it affects the net profit comparison after gross profit is calculated.
Benchmarks
The calculator is a decision aid, not a fixed rule. Use the output to compare scenarios and document your assumptions. Benchmark ranges are broad planning heuristics unless this page names a specific source for the range.
A price increase can be profitable even with some volume loss if contribution per unit rises enough.
A discount usually needs enough extra unit volume to offset lower contribution per unit.
When the projected change is small, define rollout guardrails for conversion, churn, refunds, support load, and gross margin.
Calculator accuracy
The formula, inputs, example, and limitations are shown so the result is checkable, not just a number in a box.

Business results depend on contracts, accounting treatment, taxes, payment timing, refunds, collections, and operating assumptions.

FAQ
Compare current revenue and contribution profit with projected revenue and contribution profit after the new price and expected volume change.
Use the break-even volume needed for the same gross profit. If current volume is above that number, the difference is the maximum modeled volume loss before gross profit falls.
Yes, but only if the extra unit volume offsets the lower contribution per unit. The calculator shows the projected revenue and profit side by side.
No. This is a planning estimate. Customer mix, churn, conversion, refunds, competitor response, seasonality, and packaging changes can affect the real result.
No. Business tools are scenario planners. Contracts, taxes, payment timing, accounting treatment, refunds, and legal requirements can change decisions.
Save the assumptions, compare a conservative scenario, and review the result with actual books, contracts, or an advisor before making a high-stakes decision.
