Discount impact planner
A 20% discount rarely means 20% less profit. See how many more items the sale must sell to earn what full price would have.

How it works
- A discount comes entirely out of profit, because materials, labour and most fees stay the same.
- Items needed = usual items × (profit at full price ÷ profit on sale). A 20% discount on an item with a 44% profit margin needs about 72% more sales to earn the same money.
- If the sale price does not cover cost and fees, no volume helps. Consider a smaller discount, a bundle, or free shipping instead.
What to do with the number
Check the discounted margin against the break-even calculator ↗ before you announce a sale, and plan stock for the higher volume with the market planner ↗.
