FAQ

Quick answers

Short answers for the questions that usually come up first.

Why ask for expected orders?

Because a discount can reduce profit per sale but still make sense if the expected volume is materially different.

Does this calculator assume demand changes because of the discount?

No. It shows the profit effect on the order volume you enter, so you can compare a few different demand scenarios yourself.
